Using the path integral Monte Carlo method, in this paper, we have calculated energies of a parabolic quantum dot (PQD) under various conditions and the corresponding electron densities. We have studied the effects of parameters such as temperature, number of confined electrons in the PQD, and electron-electron interactions on the PQD’s ground state, from which we have described the formation of the Wigner molecule. Moreover, we have investigated the effect of magnetic field on the variations in separation between various energy levels in the PQD.
