The team expect that their approach will help many others in experimental materials research, because it can give information about materials with a level of precision close to that of quantum mechanical methods, but simultaneously can make use of thousands of atoms and long simulation times.

Nuclear theorists believe that the combined quantum mechanical effect of the protons and neutrons in a nucleus create a set of energy levels akin to the levels that govern electrons orbiting the nucleus.

The hydrogen atom is actually one of the rare quantum mechanical systems whose energy levels can be solved exactly, but by applying the variational approach and then comparing the result to the exact solution, students could calculate the error in the approximation.
