Conclusion

This article presents a Mathematica implementation of the SACI method for calculating the energies and wavefunctions of multi-electron quantum dot systems. The results obtained from this package are highly accurate with established confidence for up to eight electrons when using a PC with a Pentium IV 2.4GHz processor, which can be readily extended by using more powerful computers. Such numerically exact calculations provide important benchmarks against which one can test other approximate schemes developed to study more complex systems.
