An open challenge. Very difficult to calculate, known only for H, He and H2+. Involves even more singular operators. Choice of the basis for representation of the wave function is important.


Wave function
Schroedinger equation is solved by variational principle. Wave function is represented by a linear combination of basis functions

Choice of the basis functions:

Explicitly correlated basis set. Includes explicitly all interparticle distances r 1A r2A r12 r2A r2B Cusp condition fulfilled ?


Explicitly correlated basis sets
Explicitly correlated Gaussians (ECG)

Positive: fast, stable, all integrals are calculated analytically Negative: cusp condition is not fulfilled => slow convergence, thousands of nonlinear parameters to be optimized

Explicitly correlated exponentials

Positive: cusp condition is fulfilled => potentially much more powerful than ECG. The most general two-center two-electron basis. Negative: how to calculate integrals with such functions??? Haven't been used so far due to overwhelming technical difficulties.


Master two-center integral
A problem: integral to be calculated analytically:

Previously: expansions in r, spherical-wave expansions of r12 ...

K. Pachucki, Phys. Rev. A 86, 052514 (2012):

where and i,j are polynomials Integral over t remains to be evaluated numerically.


Other two-center integrals

Integrals with additional positive powers of r's can be calculated from f(r) and its derivatives over r by recurrence relations. Integrals with additional negative powers of r's can be calculated by numerically integrating f(r) over the nonlinear parameters:

Difficulties: numerical instabilities


First calculations with exponential basis

Conclusion
Theory of H2 molecule reached a very high level of sophistication. Excellent agreement between theory and experiment. Modern experiments require calculations of higher-order QED Corrections in H2.

Towards calculations of m6 corrections: Proof-of-principle calculations with exponential two-center two-electron basis set are reported. Basis set yields a very compact representation of the wave Function, but is difficult to work with.
