Summary
This work establishes, by means of the Kustaanheimo-Stiefel transformation, a connection between two branches of theoretical physics which are, in present times, the object of numerous studies: the quantum mechanics of anharmonic oscilators and of the hydrogen atom in a (strong) homogeneous and constant electromagnetic field.
