TL;DR Summary
The electron's wavefunction is usually expressed in the standard basis {n, l, m_l, s, m_s}, but how to express it in the basis {n, l, m_l, s, m_j} ? (Note that m_s is replaced with m_j.) Or is it that certain combinations of quantum numbers are forbidden?
I've seen the hydrogen electron's wavefunction expressed in the basis ##\ket{n l s m_l m_s}## or ##\ket{n l s j m_j}##, but so far, never in ##\ket{n l s m_l m_j}##. My question is, are certain combinations of quantum numbers, eg, ##\ket{n l s m_l m_j}##, forbidden?

If ##\ket{n l s m_l m_j}## is not forbidden, how do we get it from the standard basis ##\ket{n l s m_l m_s}##?

I know how to get ##\ket{n l s j m_j}## from ##\ket{n l s m_l m_s}## using Clebsch-Gordan coefficients:

where ##J=L+S##.
##J## is the total angular momentum.

But other than that, I do not know how to express the wavefunction in other bases.

##|nlsm_lm_s\rangle## is equivalent to ##|nlsm_lm_j\rangle## due to the relation ##m_j=m_l+m_s##. This relation does render some ##|nlsm_lm_j\rangle## states invalid, though, eg., for a spin-1/2 particle we have the requirement ##m_j = m_l \pm 1/2##. I think this just makes ##|nlsm_lm_j\rangle## a less-desirable way to write out the state, though it is equivalent.

In general, with the addition of angular momentum, if you know all three angular momentum quantum numbers (i.e. l, s, and j), you may know at most one magnetic quantum number. If you know all three magnetic quantum numbers, you may know at most two angular momentum quantum numbers. You can know less information, but not more (with the exception of the "top" or "bottom" states, where ##j=l+s## and ##m_j = \pm j##).

Also, in the case of adding orbital angular momentum and spin, we always know the s quantum number, because it is an intrinsic property of the particle, so that also effectively limits what combination of quantum numbers you can have.
 
Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...
I am not sure if this falls under classical physics or quantum physics or somewhere else (so feel free to put it in the right section), but is there any micro state of the universe one can think of which if evolved under the current laws of nature, inevitably results in outcomes such as a table levitating? That example is just a random one I decided to choose but I'm really asking about any event that would seem like a "miracle" to the ordinary person (i.e. any event that doesn't seem to...
