✦ Synopsis

We present a new technique to accelerate the convergence of the folded spectrum method in empirical pseudopotential band edge state calculations for colloidal quantum dots. We use bulk band states of the materials constituent of the quantum dot to construct initial vectors and a preconditioner. We apply these to accelerate the convergence of the folded spectrum method for the interior states at the top of the valence and the bottom of the conduction band. For large CdSe quantum dots, the number of iteration steps until convergence decreases by about a factor of 4 compared to previous calculations.

A semiclassical Thomas-Fermi method, including a Weizs acker gradient term, is implemented to describe ground states of two-dimensional nanostructures of arbitrary shape. Time-dependent density oscillations are addressed in the same spirit using the corresponding semiclassical time-dependent equatio

## Abstract The barrier to predissociation of the first excited states of NH~3~ (3__s__^1,3^ __A__) is computed from a truncated first‐order wave function using the iterative natural orbital method. The results show that the barrier is lower than when calculated with RHF and the CI wave functions,
