Is there any physics supporting the pretty continuous transitions, or are they just pretty? If physics, can we visualize stimulated emission and have in/outbound photons?
There is! I think it’s approximate but you can calculate the state as a weighted sum of the two original orbitals, where the wights are cos and sin functions of the time. Can you elaborate on the second part?

Cool! Given that energy quanta are discrete I had assumed that the state transitions would have no middle ground--just a flicker But now that I think of it, the speed of light being different in different media implies non-instantaneous transitions
As for the second part... -
My understanding of lasers (or really any colored light emitter) is that inbound energy causes toggling between electron states. Each toggle corresponds with the emission of a photon. This camera (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EtsXgODHMWk …) shows the photon. Your animation shows the transition.
