Rendering single-electron atomic orbitals in the browser with WebGL.
The energy state of such an atom is described by the quantum numbers n
, l
and m
.
Its corresponding wavefunction is then repeatedly sampled, giving a cloud of probable positions of the single electron.
If each position is considered independently, then its motion as a particle can be simulated with a velocity field given by the guiding equation (de Broglie-Bohm theory), also known as the 'probability current'. (TODO)
