Applets

Caveats about Operating Systems and the Quantum Explorer

Our applets provide two-dimensional visualizations. They will work with any Java 1.1 enabled browser. When running our applets on Apple Computers use Internet Explorer only.

See our java utilities page for more information and to download the necessary software.

Our installer is expected to install the Quantum Explorer applications on any computer. However, although our code is written in  Java, the tools for 3D visualization are not equally available for all computer systems.  The 3D capabilities of our software are available only if running on Windows 95/98 and NT computers.

Install Quantum Explorer (2.3)	The QuantumExplorer consists of three programs for the exploration of the quantum electronic properties of atoms and diatomic molecules. The Atomic Explorer for exploring the energy levels and shapes of atomic orbitals. The Bond Explorer for learning about bonding and energy levels for overlapping atomic orbitals. The Diatomic Explorer for learning about bonding and energy levels for diatomic molecules. Install Quantum Explorer (2.3)
	The Spectrum Explorer: Blackbody applet computes a spectrum using the blackbody function for the user specified temperature. The spectrum is plotted, using color for the visible spectrum.
Install Schrodinger Shooter	The Schrodinger Shooter is a tool for finding energy levels for which there is a solution to the Schrodinger Equation in a given potential.
	The Spherical Polar Coordinate Explorer allows you to learn more about spherical polar coordinates. Updated December 18, 1998.
	The WaveFunction Explorer allows you to learn more about the radial and angular components of the wavefunction for a single electron. It was last updated Friday, October 24, 1997.
	The Concept Mapping Tool allows you to view, edit, and construct concept maps. Evaluation version (v0.4) released Fri., March. 27, 1998.
	The Polyatomic Explorer allows you to learn more about the electronic properties of Molecules. You can specify a molecule by reading in its coordinates from a file in Protein Databank (PDB) format or you can specify the atomic coordinates with a text editor. Then you can compute the molecular orbitals for that conformation of your molecule and then select one of the orbitals to view its density as an isosurface.
