Abstract—The results of quantum-chemical calculations of helium atoms in strong and superstrong magnetic fields are described. The calculations showed the possibility of transferring helium atoms to superstable states with the release of a huge amount of energy, provided that helium was previously converted to a solid state at a sufficiently high pressure and low temperature. In addition to energy production, the possibility of using helium as a coherent radiation source, that is, as a laser with a predetermined frequency.

Keywords: quantum-chemical calculations, coherent radiation, magnetic field, solid helium, superstable state
