Hey,

It's been a while since I've dealt with the 'Weight' concept, if we have a string with N molecules and 'n' of the N molecules are in an excited state and the rest (N-n) molecules are in a ground state - what is the weight of this system?

Any help would be appreciated,
SK

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!
