Solution of few-body problems with the stochastic variational method II: Two-dimensional systems

A computational approach is presented for efficient solution of two-dimensional few-body problems, such as quantum dots or excitonic complexes, using the stochastic variational method. The computer program can be used to calculate the energies and wave functions of various two-dimensional systems.

The ground state wave function is expanded into Correlated Gaussian basis functions and the parameters of the basis states are optimized by a stochastic selection procedure. Accurate results can be obtained for 2-6 electron systems.Running time: A couple of hours for a typical system.
