Suppose we have a 3D potential box having different length. Now suddenly we double the length of a particular side(Say along X direction) of the box. Can we calculate what will be the eigen function of the Hamiltonian. Is there Time Independent S.E. holds?

Yes you can do that but this sounds an awful lot like extremely standard QM HW problems so is this meant to be such?
 
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...

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!
