Density Functional Theory applied on a 'quantum dot'. Volumetric visualization of orbitals with VTK

A description of the project is on the computational physics blog: https://compphys.go.ro/dft-for-a-quantum-dot/ Some theory is also available there: https://compphys.go.ro/density-functional-theory/

The project compiles on Windows with Visual Studio 2026 (the code can be compiled with older versions starting with VS 2015, but it's currently maintained with VS 2026 and C++ 17 or higher).

The program requires mfc and the other typical VC++ runtime libraries. Additional libraries needed are FFTW http://www.fftw.org/ and VTK https://vtk.org/.
