Add useful examples of atomic physics #30

Open lemmatum opened 6 years ago

lemmatum commented 6 years ago

Add examples (probably some optimized functions plus visualizations in IPython notebooks) of physics useful for understanding atomic/spectroscopic effects.

Solutions for different modes of spherical harmonics of the Hydrogen atom is one idea that comes to mind. We could use SciPy's Cython API for special functions to generate these examples quickly.

Add any other useful concepts that could be computed or visualized here.

Probability of finding electron at a position for a certain orbital created using yt (because pretty!)
