Is it true that quantum chemistry software packages solve the Schrödinger equation using numerical approximations?

The claim that quantum chemistry software packages solve the Schrödinger equation using numerical approximations is a statement of basic fact about computational chemistry and requires no citation.

Verdict: COMMON KNOWLEDGE · 0 sources for, 0 against · Last checked 4 Aug 2026

The analysis

The claim is trivially true by definition and everyday observation of how computational quantum chemistry operates, as exact analytical solutions to the Schrödinger equation are impossible for multi-electron systems. Per instructions, trivial/definitional statements are categorized as COMMON_KNOWLEDGE with no papers attached.
