🌊 Free-Particle Wave Packet Dispersion (2D)

A 2D Canvas2D simulation of a free quantum-mechanical Gaussian wave packet spreading over time. Watch |psi(x,t)|^2 disperse via the analytic free-particle Schrodinger solution, with live group velocity, phase velocity and width readouts.

⚙ Under the hood

Watch a free quantum-mechanical Gaussian wave packet spread over time in this Canvas2D simulation. It plots the analytic free-particle Schrodinger solution |psi(x,t)|^2, showing real dispersion (width growth) as the packet propagates. Adjust the initial width, momentum and mass and watch the live group velocity, phase velocity and width readouts update.
