Can you give a more exact reference? A link to the exact page at google books would be the best way to reference it.

I assume it has something to do with the common claim that square integrable functions must go to zero as the variable goes to infinity (\psi(x)\rightarrow 0 when x\rightarrow\infty), which is actually wrong. (There are counterexamples. See this thread). However, I think \psi(x) must go to zero as x goes to infinity if Q\psi (where Q is the position operator) is square integrable. Maybe it also has to go to zero if P\psi (where P is the momentum operator) is square integrable? (I don't have time to think that through right now).

Thread 'Quantum Entanglement is a Kinematic Fact, not a Dynamical Effect'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

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!
