I am looking for litterature that derives mathematically the total energy in a ##H_2## molecule by using quantum physics. Anyone knows a book they can recommend. I have seen derivations for helium atom for example:

I need something similar for the hydrogen atom. Anyone? Cheers!

The hydrogen molecule is a 4 particle system. When I was a senior in QM, I wrote a program that solved for the energy H2 as a function of inter-nuclear separation. I used the Hartree Fock method to solve for the energy. There are a lot of integrals that must be evaluated, so I wrote a numerical routine to solve for the integrals.

I read Hanbury Brown and Twiss's experiment is using one beam but split into two to test their correlation. It said the traditional correlation test were using two beams........ This confused me, sorry. All the correlation tests I learnt such as Stern-Gerlash are using one beam? (Sorry if I am wrong) I was also told traditional interferometers are concerning about amplitude but Hanbury Brown and Twiss were concerning about intensity? Isn't the square of amplitude is the intensity? Please...
I am not sure if this belongs in the biology section, but it appears more of a quantum physics question. Mike Wiest, Associate Professor of Neuroscience at Wellesley College in the US. In 2024 he published the results of an experiment on anaesthesia which purported to point to a role of quantum processes in consciousness; here is a popular exposition: https://neurosciencenews.com/quantum-process-consciousness-27624/ As my expertise in neuroscience doesn't reach up to an ant's ear...
