How to derive the Breit equation (Pauli approximation) in position space?

I am reading the H. A. Bethe's book ---quantum mechanics of one and two electron atoms.
In section 39, it is shown how to go from general form to pauli approximation form through momentum space.
who knows how to go directly in position space?

Do you mean the Fourier transform approach in Section 39 β on page 179? I have some cryptic notes (in my handwriting) in the margin that I cannot decipher anymore.

Yes, that is what I am reading.

~~~sounds cool~~can you by some means share it?
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
