Abstract: We investigate the level set method (LSM) in a specific quantum context; namely the dipole transition moment for a system with a nontrivial Morse potential. We draw equal moment sets in the two-dimensional space of two important parameters of the potential, namely the depth of the potential and its width. Another variable is introduced as a scale and we see "motions" of the level sets normal to the contours, as in classical contexts such as fluid dynamics or in epitaxial crystal growth. Presumably interpolating the level sets normally by smooth functions such as splines may give a fairly accurate method of combining the variables to keep the dipole moment invariant.
