☼ Quick Start
The packet launches from the left with a default velocity of 0.25c. Adjust the slider, add a barrier, then click Evolve to observe quantum tunneling! Toggle Dynamics Mode to “Dirac” when you want full relativistic behaviour.
What you're seeing: The wave packet starts on the left and moves right (velocity > 0) or left (velocity < 0). When it hits the barrier, part of it reflects back while part tunnels through — a purely quantum effect! Higher velocity = more energy = higher transmission rate. Time Scale ranges from 0.01x (super slow-mo) to 5.0x (5x speed).
