## Main use cases

This package has two main functions

1. It simulates electron positions in a two dimensional plane for electrons confined in an electrostatic potential $\phi$. Electron-electron interactions are also taken into account. Physically, it minimizes the total energy of an $N$-electron system, which is given by $ -e\sum_i \phi(\mathbf{r}_i) + \sum_{i
