Abstract

A method for constructing semianalytical strongly correlated wavefunctions for single and molecular quantum dots (QDs) is presented. It employs a two-step approach of symmetry breaking at the Hartree–Fock level and of subsequent restoration of total spin and angular momentum symmetries via projection techniques. Illustrative applications are presented for the case of a two-electron helium-like single QD and a hydrogen-like QD molecule.
