Quantum Physics: Visual Lab is a beginner-friendly way to explore the strange and fascinating world of atoms, photons, electrons, and quantum behavior. Learn step by step with short lessons written in plain language. Build your understanding of wave-particle duality, the double-slit experiment, superposition, observation and measurement, entanglement, uncertainty, tunneling, qubits, photons, orbitals, quantum fields, and modern quantum technology. Open the Visual Lab to see abstract ideas in motion. Watch interference patterns form, compare particle and wave behavior, explore superposition, adjust uncertainty, observe tunneling probabilities, investigate entanglement, and visualize a qubit. Check your understanding with lesson-based quizzes and a daily quantum question. Review explanations after each answer, track your quiz accuracy, complete lessons, keep a study streak, and earn achievement badges as you progress. Use the glossary to look up key terms quickly, then visit the scientist timeline to learn about the people who shaped quantum physics, including Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg, Schrodinger, Dirac, Feynman, and more. Features: - 18 beginner-focused quantum physics lessons - 7 interactive visual simulations - 110 quiz questions with explanations - Daily quantum question - Progress tracking, quiz accuracy, streaks, and achievements - Glossary of key quantum terms - Scientist timeline with short biographies - Plain-language examples, formulas, misconceptions, and real-world applications - Optional lifetime unlock to remove ads and open all premium content Quantum physics can feel mysterious, but it does not have to feel unreachable. Visual Lab turns difficult ideas into clear explanations and interactive moments you can explore at your own pace. Educational note: This app is designed for beginner learning and intentionally simplifies some advanced physics concepts.

About

QM Simulator

Features
Read full description

QM Simulator is a hands-on quantum physics atlas: 54 interactive simulation modules spanning the full arc from quantum foundations to quantum information, paired with 47 bilingual articles. Every computation and rendering happens on your device — no network, no sign-up. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Play with parameters: adjust slit spacing, raise a potential barrier, tune cavity coupling — every chart recomputes in real time. • Learn by level: Basics → Advanced (perturbation, degeneracy, radiation) → Topics (Bell inequalities, quantum error correction, Grover's algorithm), from high-school extension to university QM. • Read linked notes: each article is tied to its simulation, with formulas and figures side by side — switch between Chinese and English anytime. • Explore freely: Bloch sphere, hydrogen wavefunctions, blackbody radiation, Compton scattering, Kronig–Penney, BB84 quantum key distribution — from Planck's 1900 hypothesis to today's quantum computing. WHO IT'S FOR • Physics students: turn textbook formulas into images you can see and manipulate. • Educators & researchers: validate intuitions and demonstrate in class. • The curious: no derivation skills needed — dial the parameters and build quantum intuition. HIGHLIGHTS • 54 simulation modules, all driven by real physics computation (not pre-baked animations). • 47 in-depth articles, fully bilingual, with figures and code. • Fully offline: no ads, no purchases, no tracking, no account required. • Chinese & English UI, follows system language. Educational use: QM Simulator works as a lecture-demonstration companion for quantum mechanics courses.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: QM Simulator at none against Quantum Physics's 1. QM Simulator also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
