In the Hamilonian for an H2+, the kinetic energy of the electron (KE of nucleus ignored due to born-oppenheimer approximation) has a negative sign in front of it.
I understand the signs for the potential energy operators but not for the KE apart from the strictly mathematical point of view. Can someone explain this please?
