The use of computer as a medium of learning has been proven can attract interest and motivation of students to study physics specially quantum mechanics. The Scilab as an open source computational software package provides various tools to simulate and solve the problems in quantum mechanics. In this paper the solution of Schrodinger equations are obtained for basic quantum mechanical systems like particle in infinite potential well, linear harmonic oscillator and hydrogen atom under various potential energy conditions imposed on the systems.
