To test the reliability of variational calculations in nuclear problems the energy and wave function for the ground state of H² is first computed variationally and then compared to the results obtained from the exact solution. For an exponential potential and for a wave function in the form of an exponential times a power series, we find that the variational method is accurate and rapidly convergent.
