## TL;DR

This paper corrects the previously published momentum-space wave function for the quasi-one-dimensional hydrogen atom, confirming the accuracy of the authors' earlier work and refuting recent incorrect claims.

## Contribution

It provides a rigorous proof that the momentum-space wave function used by Olendski is incorrect and reaffirms the correctness of the authors' earlier wave function.

## Key findings

- Olendski's wave function is incorrect
- Authors' wave function is confirmed correct
- Clarifies the proper form of the wave function

## Abstract

We prove that the bound-state momentum-space wave function $\phi(p)$ for the quasi-one-dimensional hydrogen atom as used by Olendski in two recent publications (Eur. J. Phys.38, 038001(2017), arXiv : 1703.10042v1, 26 Mar2017) is incorrect. Further, we reconfirm that the wave function used by us in Eur. J.. Phys. 38, 025103 is correct.
