:The simplest 3D case is a cube, which is worth treating here. The ball case is an exercise in spherical coordinates, maybe better suited for a different article. What I would like to do here is to make an animation of the probability density of a simple non-stationary state.

Do we need the 3D case?

I think this page is starting to approach complete, besides the currently empty sections on the 3D spherical and cubic wells. I believe that the cubic will isn't really needed, but what are people's thoughts on the spherical well? It is definitely important but perhaps a separate page for it would serve to keep this page simpler, as well as making it nearly done.
