Abstract

In the following we are going to consider hadronic bound-states. The simplest example are heavy quark-antiquark (c\(\bar C\) and b\(\bar b\)) pairs, which are known as quarkonia. Due to the large quark masses they may be approximately treated in a nonrelativistic manner. The hydrogen atom and positronium will serve as electromagnetic analogues.
