TL;DR Summary
what is the relationship between vacuum energy and vacuum fluctuation
are vacuum energy and vacuum fluctuations the same thing or is one the the consequence of the other, I understand they are related in some way but I don't know how.

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!
