\label{eq:1dham}  \hat{H}=\sum_{j=1}^N \left(-\frac{d^2}{dx_j^2}+v_{\rm ext}(x_j)\right)+\sum_{j  \end{equation}  where the interaction potential $v_{\rm int}(x_j, x_k)$ is usually Coulombic, though the following discussion also applies for other types of interaction, including more than two-body ones. In 1D one often uses the soft-Coulomb soft Coulomb  interaction $1 / \sqrt{(x_j-x_k)^2+1}$, where a softening parameter (usually set to one) is introduced in order to avoid the divergence at $x_j=x_k$, which is non-integrable in 1D. Mathematically, the Hamiltonian (\eqref{eq:1dham}) (eq. \eqref{eq:1dham})  is equivalent to that of a single (and hence truly independent) electron in $N$ dimensions, with the external potential \begin{equation}  v_{\rm ext}^{Nd}(x_1...x_N)=\sum_{j=1}^N v_{\rm ext}(x_j)+\sum_{j  \end{equation}
