Bohmian Simulation Lab

This project provides a Python-based simulation toolkit for visualizing the evolution of a wavefunction and the corresponding Bohmian particle trajectories as they interact with a potential barrier.

Getting Started

1. Run tdse_solver.py to simulate the evolution of the wavefunction.
2. Inspect the output using tdse_visualizer.py.
3. Generate Bohmian particle trajectories with bohm_trajectories_calculator.py.
4. View the system dynamically with bohmian_viewer.py.
5. Optionally export the simulation as a movie with bohmian_viewer_export.py and bohmian_movie_maker.py.

File Structure

File	Description
tdse_solver.py	Solves the time-dependent Schrödinger equation.
tdse_visualizer.py	Visualizes the evolved wavefunction.
bohm_trajectories_calculator.py	Computes Bohmian trajectories.
bohmian_viewer.py	Interactive viewer for particles, amplitude, and quantum potential.
bohmian_viewer_export.py	Exports simulation frames as PNGs.
bohmian_movie_maker.py	Compiles frames into a movie.
pyproject.toml + poetry.lock	Environment and dependencies.

Notes

• Output files (.npz, .mp4) are not included. Students are expected to run the simulations themselves.
