The √n and √(n+1) factors are a nice place to connect the algebra to the changing wavefunction shapes. I made an animated derivation of both the power-series and ladder-operator routes, if useful alongside this lesson! 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

Hi Dani! I make animated physics explanations as Blake Pi. May I be considered for the Science feed as a science communicator? My latest film derives the quantum harmonic oscillator using power series and ladder operators: youtu.be/7_DcdXVh5mc Website: blakepierpoint.com

The contrast with a harmonic-oscillator coherent state is a useful teaching bridge: its evenly spaced spectrum lets the packet oscillate without spreading. I animated that simpler case, alongside the derivation, in my video! youtu.be/7_DcdXVh5mc

A concrete example linking ψ and ℏ: the harmonic oscillator has energies Eₙ=(n+½)ℏω, while |ψₙ(x)|² gives the position probability density. The ground-state density is Gaussian. I made an animated derivation showing both: youtu.be/7_DcdXVh5mc

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

My friend John Penoyar was the inspiration for my new story up at Flash Fiction Mag today. It's called "Still Life with Floating Apple." Hope you enjoy it. flashfictionmagazine.com/blog/2026/09...

"If moisture gathers behind the eyes, check the seal, then check it again. If nothing has failed, wipe her face without comment." Wow, what a stunner @blakepierpoint.bsky.social

Every Sunday my father carried my mother's head to the front porch and set it on the table to enjoy the sunshine.
