Charles Alfred Coulson coauthored research on molecular orbital.^[ref]

A molecular orbital is a one-electron spatial wavefunction for the combined atomic nuclei of a molecule. For a normalized molecular orbital, the Born rule gives the position probability density $|\psi (\mathbf{r}){|}^2$, with ${\int }_{{\mathbb{R}}^3}|\psi {|}^2{d}^3\mathbf{r}=1$. The molecular orbital is the amplitude, rather than its squared modulus or a classical trajectory.
