i think I have an alternative explanation to the double slit.We can assume that the slit surface is not completely smooth,thus a photon may enter these gaps thus allowing for interference in the case of single photon emitter

.. and how does this explain the same type of interference pattern we see in SQUIDs with supercurrent interference, electron interference, neutron interference, etc.. etc? Where are the "surface roughness" there?

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
