OICOS Simulator
See the wave. Follow the particle. Understand the quantum world.
Quantum mechanics, made visible
Interference Patterns
Watch probability waves overlap and reinforce. Bright fringes where crests align, dark voids where they cancel.
Particle Trajectories
Follow Bohmian particles as the wavefunction guides them through slits, around barriers, and into stable orbits.
Quantum Vortices
Phase singularities where probability currents spiral. Particles swerve around nodal points they can never cross.
Real physics. Real time.
Choose a scene
Double slit, tunneling, phase plates, vortices, and more -- each tuned for visual clarity.
Watch particles flow
The wave propagates. Particles respond. Every frame is real physics, computed live.

What is Pilot-Wave Theory?
In 1927, Louis de Broglie proposed that every quantum particle is guided by a real wave. Particles always have definite positions — the uncertainty isn't in nature, it's in our knowledge.
Unlike the Copenhagen interpretation, pilot-wave mechanics is fully deterministic. The wavefunction evolves via the Schrödinger equation, and particles follow trajectories guided by the quantum potential. No collapse. No measurement problem. Just physics.
