The quantum molecule consisting of three quantum dots that forms a triangle with its centers is studied. The electron wave function in the nanosystem is written using the linear combination of orbital quantum wells. The dispersion equation for numerical calculations of the electron stationary states in a quantum molecule is found. A numerical calculation of the electron energy spectrum in the molecule formed by three quantum dots of a spherical shape is carried out. The influence of the nanocrystal size, the distance between them and the symmetry of the quantum molecule on the electron energy spectrum is studied. The cases of symmetry of an equilateral and an isosceles triangle are considered.

Key words: quantum dot molecule, three quantum dots
