This computer visualization activity is designed to help upper division undergraduate students to visualize the probability density of a particle confined to a ring.

Students use Maple or Mathematica to calculate the probability density from the particle's wavefunction, visualize linear combinations of eigenstates, and animate how the probability density changes with time.

The entire class wrap-up discussion focuses on sharing three equivalent representations of the probability density and shows students how to move between each representation, helping them move forward in becoming professional physicists.
