When you have i*e^(i@) as an amplitude, when you conjugate, do both i terms switch signs? I tried this and keep getting wrong answer. Thanks in advance. BTW this has to do with spin half particles.

never mind. was using <-zl+y> for amplitude, when it should be the conjugate of that.nNow switch both i terms works gives me correct answer.

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!
