Energy for Two-electron Quantum Dots: The Quantization Rule Approach

  • Published:
Foundations of Physics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

The energy spectra for two electrons in a parabolic quantum dot are calculated by the quantization rule approach. The numerical results are in excellent agreement with the results by the method of integrating directly the Schrödinger equation, and better than those by the WKB method and the WKB-DP method.
