'''COMSOL Multiphysics''' is a cross-platform [[finite element]] analysis, solver and [[multiphysics]] [[simulation software]]. It allows conventional physics-based user interfaces and coupled systems of [[partial differential equation]]s (PDEs). COMSOL provides an [[Integrated development environment|IDE]] and unified workflow for electrical, mechanical, fluid, acoustics and chemical applications.

Beside the wide range of classical problems that can be efficiently addressed with the specific application modules, the core Multiphysics package can be used to solve Schrödinger-type (PDEs), and has been successfully applied for simulating quantum effects in low dimensional systems like metallic nanoparticles,<ref>{{cite journal |author= M.
