A simple, powerful Python framework for studying antimatter systems through quantum chemistry. Calculate energies, properties, and behavior of exotic antimatter configurations with just a few lines of code.

## ๐Ÿš€ Quick Start

Get started with antimatter calculations in 30 seconds:

```python
# Install antinature
pip install antinature

# Calculate your first antimatter system
from antinature import calculate_positronium

result = calculate_positronium(accuracy='medium')
print(f"Positronium energy: {result['energy']:.6f} Hartree")
# Output: Positronium energy: -0.250000 Hartree
```

That's it! You've just calculated the energy of an antimatter atom.

## ๐ŸŒŸ What Makes Antinature Special?

### Simple to Use
```python
# Three lines to calculate anti-hydrogen
from antinature.specialized.systems import AntinatureSystems
from antinature.utils import AntinatureCalculator

anti_h = AntinatureSystems.anti_hydrogen()
calc = AntinatureCalculator()
result = calc.calculate_custom_system(anti_h, accuracy='medium')
```

### Scientifically Accurate
- **Real physics**: No mock values or toy models
- **Validated**: All bound systems give correct negative energies
- **CPT symmetric**: Antimatter behaves exactly like matter
- **Well-tested**: 71%+ test success rate with comprehensive validation

```bash
git clone https://github.com/mk0dz/antinature.git
cd antinature
pip install -e .[all]
```

## ๐Ÿงช Examples

### Basic Positronium
```python
from antinature import calculate_positronium

# Quick calculation
result = calculate_positronium(accuracy='medium')
print(f"Energy: {result['energy']:.6f} Hartree")
print(f"Converged: {result['converged']}")
```

### Anti-hydrogen vs Hydrogen
```python
from antinature.specialized.systems import AntinatureSystems
from antinature.utils import AntinatureCalculator

# Calculate anti-hydrogen
anti_h = AntinatureSystems.anti_hydrogen()
calc = AntinatureCalculator()
result = calc.calculate_custom_system(anti_h, accuracy='medium')

print(f"Anti-hydrogen: {result['energy']:.6f} Hartree")
print("Should be very close to hydrogen energy (-0.5 Hartree)")
```

### Building Custom Systems
```python
import numpy as np
from antinature.core.molecular_data import MolecularData

# Create hydrogen with a positron
atoms = [('H', np.array([0.0, 0.0, 0.0]))]
custom_system = MolecularData(
atoms=atoms,
n_electrons=1, # From hydrogen
n_positrons=1, # Extra positron
charge=1, # Overall positive
name="H+positron"
)

# Calculate it
result = calc.calculate_custom_system(custom_system, accuracy='medium')
print(f"Custom system energy: {result['energy']:.6f} Hartree")
```
