Improved Theoretical Ground-State Energy of the Hydrogen Molecule
Abstract
The potential-energy curve for the electronic ground state of the hydrogen molecule has been calculated for 1 ≤ R ≤ 3.2 a.u. in double precision and using a 100-term expansion for the electronic wavefunction. Accuracy of the previously computed diagonal corrections for nuclear motion has been tested. The vibrational equation has been solved for all isotopes of the hydrogen molecule and for the rotational quantum number J ≤ 10. The calculated adiabatic dissociation energy of H2, corrected for relativistic and radiative effects, is by 3.8 cm−1 larger than the experimental value, hence the theoretical total energy is by the same amount lower than the experimental value. The calculated vibrational quanta for H2 are by 0.5–0.9 cm−1 larger than the experimental ones.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
