| contents | In this paper, we investigate the Schrödinger equation in a three-dimensional helically twisted space characterized by a non-trivial torsion parameter. By applying exact separation of variables, we derive the radial equation governing the dynamics of quantum particles in this geometric background. Remarkably, the intrinsic coupling between angular and longitudinal momenta induced by the torsion gives rise to an attractive Coulomb-like potential term that emerges purely from the underlying geometry, without introducing any external fields or interactions. We obtain exact analytical solutions for the bound states, including both the energy spectrum and the normalized wave functions. Numerical calculations are also performed, and excellent agreement with the exact results is found. The interplay between the torsion parameter and the effective Coulomb-like interaction is analyzed in detail, showing how geometric deformation generates novel quantum confinement mechanisms in twisted spaces. |
