I'm not really a computer geek, I'm a physicist, but we occasionally have to program for data analysis and things.

It describes the energy levels in two systems I'm investigating. One has four copper atoms and has six energy states, which Origin 6 pro can deal with on a decent computer. The other has four mixed-valence manganese atoms and has 110 energy states, which make Origin shut down without a chance to save your work.
Crappy.

# Pretty big napkin...
Of course, when you've worked out each energy level, you have to input each one into the Van Vleck-Dirac-Heisenberg equation to calculate the susceptibility.
which is just what I was saying to the vicar the other day...
