The Hamiltonian for a particle constrained to motion near a toroidal helix with loops of arbitrary eccentricity is developed. The resulting three dimensional Schr\"odinger equation is reduced to a one dimensional effective equation inclusive of curvature effects. A basis set is employed to find low-lying eigenfunctions of the helix. Toroidal moments corresponding to the individual eigenfunctions are calculated. The dependence of the toroidal moments on the eccentricity of the loops is reported. Unlike the classical case, the moments strongly depend on the details of loop eccentricity.
