    Abstract

    We show that the exact solution of the Schrödinger equation for two electrons confined to two distinct concentric rings or spheres can be found in closed form for particular values of the ring or sphere radii. In the case of rings, we report exact polynomial and irrational solutions. In the case of spheres, we report exact polynomial solutions for the ground and excited states of S symmetry.
