Exercise 2.2: Hydrogen atom

$\bullet$ Solve the problem stated in the previous section. If your program has no errors, you should obtain $E=-0.499278 E_H$, which is remarkable considering that only four basis states have been taken into account.

$\bullet$ Compare graphically the variational ground-state to the exact one, given by Eq.(38).
