My question is, how does one get a wave function for a 'combined' spin-1 and a spin-0 field? How is this possible? I have only been able to find combined states for equal spin identical particles.

If you don't understand my question, I'll be glad to reword it.

What do you mean "combined spin 1 and spin 0"? A direct product state, or a linear superposition? The latter doesn't exist.

Basically, if they were one object. I suppose like a multi particle wave function. What would the Direct product state be like?

It would be something like
##\Psi^{\mu}(x,y)=\phi(x) \psi^{\mu}(y)##

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!
