"The self-consistent quantum-electrostatic problem in strongly non-linear regime" by Pacome Armagnat, A. Lacerda-Santos, Benoit Rossignol, Christoph Groth and Xavier Waintal has received the Select label. Warm congratulations to the authors!

In this well written and detailed paper, the authors propose an effective method to solve "the self-consistent quantum-electrostatic problem" at zero temperature. Commonly, this problem has been avoided, but the authors of these paper present a stable algorithm that provides a solution to this problem with controlled accuracy. The main result of the manuscript is eliminating the convergence issues of the Schrodinger-Poisson problem and reducing the necessity to perform computationally intensive steps of quantum simulation to only a few iterations. Overall, this proposal can be very valuable to many researchers that have to address this problem in some form in their modelling of physical phenomena.
