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

Building Custom Systems

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")
