🌀 Quantum Wave Packet in Structured Space: 2D Wave Function Map

Top-down map of a quantum wave packet solving the 2D Schrodinger equation with the split-operator Fourier method. Drag the launch ball, the momentum arrow and the wall to explore free spreading, tunnelling, single and double slit diffraction and a harmonic trap, then make real projective position measurements with the detector.
