Uses computer animation to present a visualization of solutions for the quantum harmonic oscillator. Eigenfunctions are displayed and combined to construct a gaussian packet having a time-dependent probability amplitude of a classical nature. The functions are arranged in phase space to give a motion picture rendition of the uncertainty principle of the oscillator
