Another question on Schrodinger Equation

Rade
I have read the following claim (where is not important):

...the Schrodinger equation provides no rational basis for the phenomenon of spin, the Pauli Exclusion Principle, or Hund's Rule...


Is such a claim true ? If so, what does it matter ?

The symmetrization postulate is a postulate just like the SE (when the axioms are presented in the Schrödinger picture),
so no interference, they are completely independent. The spin comes from the Galilei group;
well, from the Galilei group one can derive the SE using the
theorem of Wigner and Bargmann. The Hund's rules can be derived if one was able to fully solve the SE for an arbitrary
atom, hence for all atoms of the elements in the PT.

Oh, and it's Schrödinger or Schroedinger (in the unfortunate case you can't put the Umlaut), not Schrodinger.

So that claim is wrong.

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!
According to recent podcast between Jacob Barandes and Sean Carroll, Barandes claims that putting a sensitive qubit near one of the slits of a double slit interference experiment is sufficient to break the interference pattern. Here are his words from the official transcript: Is that true? Caveats I see: The qubit is a quantum object, so if the particle was in a superposition of up and down, the qubit can be in a superposition too. Measuring the qubit in an orthogonal direction might...
