Does anyone know where I can find information about using quantum mechanics on the diatomic molecule (E.g. Lectures on YouTube or just notes)?

Thanks.

Kind of a hard question to answer, since it's typically general-QM books, and books on atomic/molecular stuff in general.

But I do know Landau-Lifgarbagez's QM book (chapter XI) does do a pretty thorough investigation into most aspects of diatomics (pretty much as far as you can go analytically).

Anything specific you're after?
