Abstract

We study the problem of a hydrogen atom with an infinitely repulsive singularity at the origin, in two cases: in the first, the electron is free to move throughout space, while in the other, the system is confined in a spherical box of impenetrable walls centred at the nucleus. We show that spherically symmetric $s$ states cannot exist in these systems.
