The electronic structure of three model potentials for quantum dots has been studied. The potentials are of finite depth and spherical symmetry and have a range between 5 to 25 nm. The sequence of electronic states differs markedly from the one familiar from atomic systems. The occurrence of high angular momentum components in low‐energy excited states is particular noteworthy. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2004
