✦ Synopsis

The proper treatment of many-body effects for fermions has long been a goal of theorists working in atomic and molecular physics. The computational demands of such a treatment, however, when coupled to the added difficulties imposed by the presence of external electromagnetic sources, have resulted in few studies of many-body effects in strong magnetic fields, i.e., in the field regime where perturbation theory is no longer applicable. In this article, we review the fundamental aspects of the problem and describe a variety of theoretical approaches for small atoms and molecules in strong Ž . fields, beginning with mean-field theory Hartree᎐Fock and progressing through variational and exact stochastic methods.

A potential energy picture for the hydrogen atom in crossed electric and magnetic fields is derived. Potential and kinetic energy terms of the exact Hamiltonian are identified via the Newtonian equations of motion. Because of the finite nuclear mass a diamagnetic potential term is present which prev
