Bloch Oscillations & Wannier–Stark Ladder

Launch Simulator

1-D tight-binding electron in uniform field E: semiclassical k(t), Bloch-periodic x(t), and finite-chain Wannier–Stark ladder with spacing ≈ eEa.

Graphene Tight-Binding Band Structure

Launch Simulator

Honeycomb π tight binding: E(k) along Γ–M–K–Γ, Dirac cones at K and K′ when Δ=0, gap 2Δ from sublattice stagger, and a Brillouin-zone energy map.

Phonon Dispersion: 1-D Mass–Spring Chain

Launch Simulator

Monoatomic ω = 2√(K/m)|sin(ka/2)| or diatomic acoustic/optical branches from alternating masses; ω(k) and group velocity v_g = dω/dk in the first Brillouin zone with animated lattice snapshot.

β⁻ Decay: Electron Spectrum

Launch Simulator

Continuous kinetic-energy spectrum up to endpoint Q (allowed-decay phase space); missing energy carried by the antineutrino.

2D Box: Eigenstates & Degeneracy

Launch Simulator

Particle in a 2-D rectangular infinite well: ψ_{n_x,n_y} ∝ sin(n_xπx/L_x)sin(n_yπy/L_y), E ∝ (n_x/L_x)² + (n_y/L_y)². Toggle a square box (L_x = L_y) to expose the (n_x, n_y) ↔ (n_y, n_x) accidental degeneracy and watch the doublets split as the box deforms.

Ramsey Fringes (Atomic Clock)

Launch Simulator

Separated-oscillating-fields sequence π/2 — τ — π/2 with detuning Δ and coherence T₂. Sweep τ or Δ to see P(|1⟩) = ½(1 − cosΔτ · e^{−τ/T₂}) — fringe period 2π/Δ, exponential T₂ envelope; the Bloch sphere animates each stage. Foundational to atomic clocks and Ramsey interferometry.
