Abstract
The subject of quantum dot has received great theoretical attention because of many attractive features they exhibit in a large class of combinations and different methods have been used. In the present work, we consider a two-electron-quantum dot, obtain the quasi-exact analytical solution of corresponding Schrödinger equation and finally calculate the ground state and the excited state energy eigenvalues of the system by considering oscillating and linear confining terms as well as a Coulomb interaction between the two electrons. The present results are useful to study the optical and magnetic properties of such structures.
