    How does an Electron 'jump' from one orbit to the other?

    In that case I'm wondering what the probability density for the electron looks like during transitions. We've all seen the 3d spatial probability densities for electron orbitals, but what about a 3d visualisation of the probability density during a transition? Has anyone seen such a thing?

    How does an Electron 'jump' from one orbit to the other?

    But isn't it the case that the allowable atomic energy levels are solutions to the steady state wave equation? What about the time dependent case of a transition from one energy level to another? Does the electron probability distribution morph smoothly from one distribution to another during...
