iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

What does a quantum harmonic oscillator actually *do*? I animated the whole thing! the Schrödinger equation, power-series solution, ladder operators, energy eigenstates, and finally their evolution in time... Made with Manim :) youtu.be/7_DcdXVh5mc

One distinction I wanted the animation to make clear: a single energy eigenstate has a stationary probability density. Motion appears through interference in superpositions, coherent states give the familiar oscillating packet! 🧪 #QuantumMechanics youtu.be/7_DcdXVh5mc
