Abstract
We study two-dimensional quantum dots using the variational quantum Monte Carlo technique in the weak-confinement limit where the system approaches the Wigner molecule, i.e., the classical solution of point charges in an external potential. We observe the spin-polarization of electrons followed by a smooth transition to a Wigner-molecule-like state as the confining potential is made weaker.
