Abstract

A method for constructing semianalytical strongly correlated wave functions for single and molecular quantum dots 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 quantum dot and a hydrogen-like quantum dot molecule.
