This paper introduces a Volume Integral Equation (VIE) method to overcome computational bottlenecks in modeling the optical response of metal nanoparticles using the Self-Consistent Hydrodynamic Drude Model (SC-HDM). The VIE approach offers significant computational efficiency compared to traditional Differential Equation (DE)-based methods, particularly for complex material responses. This is crucial for advancing quantum plasmonics and understanding the behavior of nanoparticles.
