Quantum Jump Simulation
Two-level state switching and jump timeline
A two-level system alternates between bright and dark periods. Driving and decay rates change the jump statistics.
What Is Quantum Jump?
Quantum Jump refers to two-level state switching and jump timeline in quantum mechanics. This page visualizes the phenomenon with interactive controls so you can change parameters and observe how the model responds.
What To Observe
- Watch how the visual pattern or system response changes as you adjust the controls for Quantum Jump.
- Relate each visual change to the core phenomenon shown here: two-level state switching and jump timeline.
- Use repeated runs with one parameter changed at a time to build intuition.
