Potential Creation

This program is a utility for the Wave Function Sketcher, Quantum Motion,
Quantum Tunneling, and Bound States programs. Using this program the
students can create a potential of their choosing in several ways. They may
select a relatively common quantum mechanical potential and modify the
variables, create a potential by entering a mathematical function, retrieve
a potential from disk and modify the variables, or create a periodic
function potential from any single valued potential available to them.
Changing the variables or the number of periods is available through a
series of sliders or check boxes that will appear on the screen. Once the
potential has been saved it may be used in any of the other programs. At the
moment, however, the potential must be exported to be used in the bound
states program rather than being saved. We are currently working to remove
this limitation.
