Introduction After some posts about the theory it is time to present the Hartree-Fock program1. You might find the previous posts useful, along with the links in there: How to solve a quantum many-body problem, The Hartree-Fock method. Here is the program in action (the final version might have minor differences): Although it doesn’t show … Read more
Introduction Last time we ended up with a simplified Hamiltonian: and having the variational principle for help. It turns out that this simplified Hamiltonian is not simple enough. In this post I’ll expose one method that allows one to do calculations for quite complex quantum systems, the Hartree-Fock method. Because the subject is quite large, … Read more
Introduction Quite a bit of time passed since my last post on this blog. I had a visit to the sunny Spain, I switched to a double-surface hang glider and I had to take a little care of my firm. Despite those things, I did a little bit of work for the blog, but it … Read more
