The Hiesenberg Demonstrator is designed to show the relationship between Quantum systems, measuring devices and observers. The software is freeware and the source code can be downloaded below. The only condition is that the copyright remains with Bowmain Ltd (UK).
The software supports the document at http://www.quantum.bowmain.com/Quantum_Reality.pdf
The Hiesenberg Demonstrator world view is unashamedly "Copenhagen". For example, it can be used to demonstrate solutions to the calibration problem or show "Physics before Physics" or show that commutator relationship can be defined even in the absence of a clock.
The .NET executable and supporting dlls (in a zip file) are available here.
Source code is available here and requires Microsoft Visual C# Express Edition or above to compile. It requires that .NET runtime is installed on the target computer.
Please note that the application is very susceptable to the choice of random number generation algorithm.
Experiments consist of a set of systems, associated measuring devices and observers.
The following systems are "built-in" to Heisenberg
Measuring devices are always closely coupled to Quantum systems. The following measuring devices are "built-in" to Heisenberg
The following observers are "built-in".
Experiments consist of a set of systems, associated measuring devices and observers. Experiments can be persisted to disk, and are identified by the extension ".Heisenberg".
The following experiments are supplied with Heisenberg
File: Spin 1/2 Particle.Heisenberg
Measurement of the intrinsic angular momentum of single spin 1/2 particle, modelled as a spinor. Angular momentum operators are implemented using standard Pauli matrices.
File: Pendulum.Heisenberg
File: Classical.Heisenberg

The current version is a development version only and a little buggy.
If you find this software useful (or would if it was complete), please let me know. It might make me work on it a little bit more!
