Hydrogenic eigenstates ψnlm

Every (n, l, m) eigenstate of the hydrogen-like atom, for atomic numbers Z = 1 through 118, raymarched at video rate from precomputed wavefunctions.

Choose an atom and a state. The volume in the figure is ψnlm, with accent for positive lobes and complement for negative. Switch from single orbital to a full atom — or compose shells — from the segmented control.
