I have zero experience or knowledge about it, but here's a reasonable
looking project that uses Seaborn (https://seaborn.pydata.org/) to
visualize wave functions:

The code is in here:
https://github.com/nnguyen19/helium_project/blob/master/Tung-Nhan%20Nguyen%20-%20Helium%20by%20wavefunction.py

Seaborn is a very nice wrapper around matplotlib. From a cursory glance,
it looks like qutip is also a wrapper around pandas & matplotlib so the
two might be useful in combination with each other.
