HeliumAtom

Classical chaotic simulation of a toy model helium atom

Usage

Option 1: (any OS)

• Since the original source seems to be defect (GlowScriptOffline) I recommend using the copy provided with this repo.
• Unzip.
• Open GlowScript.html, which is located in the extracted folder, with your browser.
• Either paste code from one of the python files in this repo (e.g. HeliumAtom.py) or open it by using the "Browse..."-button.
• Press "Run".
• Live simulation should appear to the right of the code frame.

Option 2: (tested on Windows)

• Download & Install Anaconda3.
• Run the following commands in a terminal.

conda install -c vpython vpython
conda install spyder=3.1.4

Paste code into spyder and run. Browser view with simulation should open.

Troubleshooting

In case you are having problems to run the code in this repo, feel free to open an issue here on GitHub.

Comment

HeliumAtom.py is the main file. The folder VPython inludes further experimentation.
