Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the physics to comment on specific aspects of the proposal, but I would suggest adding some more details on the specific implementation of your ideas. A suggestion would be to add an example Python session that shows what your code would do once it is finished. See https://asmeurersympy.wordpress.com/2011/04/27/advice-for-future-prospective-gsoc-students/.
