Abstract
One of the classic problems of quantum mechanics is the three-body Coulomb system. Fock was the first to suggest a method [35] to solve the Schrödinger equation for a helium atom as a three-body system with a Coulomb interaction. This method became one of the fundamental approaches to the solution of the Schrödinger equation for the three-body problem. The progress that was subsequently made led to the development of two widely used was of investigating this problem: the adiabatic representation method and the variatonal method (see, for example, ([36], [5])).
