In the present work, we show how to visualize a many-electron Hamiltonian in the matrix form. This procedure is very important for finding eigenvalues of energy and eigenvectors. Here, the many-particle Hamiltonian in a crystal includes electron-nucleus effects and electron kinetic energy (one-point operators) as well as electron-electron mutual repulsion (two-point operators). It is thoroughly discussed how to reduce a many-particle problem to a two-particle problem. Starting from the antisymmetric wave functions as space bases, the Hamiltonian matrix was obtained in a graphical representation-based way. Each step of forming the components of the Hamiltonian matrix is explained instructively. Results show that the kinetic energy of electrons and the electron-nucleus interaction construct the diagonal components of the Hamiltonian matrix. In representing electron-electron interactions, we employ diagonal elements that do not require the exchange of wave functions over two particles, but off-diagonal components incorporate the effect of exchanging wave functions over the particles. In this study, since we were looking for an exact solution, we used a three-electron system, but the method used can be extended to larger systems. Also, the code written for the Hamiltonian matrix creation process can be provided to researchers in this field.
