Is there a deep reason for using the squared modulus of the wave function as the probability density of the existence of the particle?

I think we were all surprised at the first time we got to know quantum mechanics that the squared modulus of the wave function is the probability density of the existence of the particle? The role...

Why it is required to optimize a unit cell generated from cif lattice parameters and atomic coordinates during ab initio solid state calculations?

A cif file represents a unit cell with minimum energy. My question is, in the start of any ab initio calculation for unit cell generated from the cif file, why we are advised to optimize cell...
