Abstract
The Schrödinger–Riccati equation has been used in the study of the potential energy curve of the Hydrogen molecule. The minimum is obtained at the equilibrium bond distance. The predicted total energy at that point is −1.1727 hartree, with a relative error (in absolute value) of 0.15% with respect to the exact energy of −1.1745 hartree.
