General Questions and Discussion / Re: Maximum number of particles for MCTDHB

Hi Asaad Sakhel!
The accuracy of MCTDH-B is dependent on the physical situation that is considered.
The size of the configuration space is N+M-1 choose N ; so for N=2000 particles you can work at most with M=3 orbitals.
If these 2003001 configurations would be a sufficiently large configuration space for the system you have in mind, then yes.
For instance, I think you could get a very accurate representation for harmonically, double-well, and triple-well trapped particles.
There exist many examples where MCTDH-B has been applied for N>200, for instance:
https://www.pnas.org/content/109/34/13521
https://journals.aps.org/prl/pdf/10.1103/PhysRevLett.106.240401
https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.100.130401
Best,
Axel
