Schrödinger equation solved for the hydrogen molecule with unprecedented accuracy

The hydrogen molecule can be used for determination of physical constants, including the proton charge radius, and for improved tests of the hypothetical long range force between hadrons, which require a sufficiently accurate knowledge of the molecular levels. In this work, we perform the first step toward a significant improvement in theoretical predictions of H2 and solve the nonrelativistic Schrodinger equation to the unprecedented accuracy of 10−12. We hope that it will inspire a parallel progress in the spectroscopy of the molecular hydrogen.
