Abstract

A separable model of N interacting particles, in which disjoint pairs of particles interact by arbitrary two-particle potentials while the remaining interactions obey the Hooke law, is discussed from a perspective of its applications in quantum chemistry. In particular, properties of three- and four-particle Hookean systems modeling He-like atoms, H₂⁺ and H₂ molecules and many exotic systems are analyzed. The energy spectra and the structure of the wavefunctions of quasi-exactly solvable Schrödinger equations which result from this analysis are investigated in some detail.
