Perturbation equations for the H(1s)–H^(+) long‐range interaction are solved directly in momentum space up to the fourth order with respect to the reciprocal of the internuclear distance. As in the hydrogen atom problem, the Fock transformation is used which projects the momentum vector of an electron from the three‐dimensional hyperplane onto the four‐dimensional hypersphere. Solutions are given as linear combinations of several four‐dimensional spherical harmonics. The present results add an example to the momentum‐space solution of the nonspherical potential problem
