Initialization
To smoothly evaluate this notebook, please (through the
Evaluation
menu):
◼
Disable dynamic updating
◼
Evaluate notebook (choose "yes" to automatically evaluate all initialization cells)
◼
Enable dynamic updating
Pre-evaluation is required to view the random-sampling plots.
Note: we’ll work in natural and nondimensional units where
ℏ
=
m
=
ω
=
