How an electron binds two protons, the hydrogen molecule ion

The stability of the hydrogen atom cannot be explained by classical physics, and it is the search for an answer to this question that gives birth to quantum mechanics. In this video, we consider what happens if we bring a proton close to the hydrogen atom. Quantum mechanics admits a solution where it is energetically more favorable for the electron to binds the two protons. We delve into the solution of such bonding and antibonding states using the variational approach and discuss a simple and intuitive approach to this problem as proposed by Richard Feynman.
