I would like to give me some information about elliptic trajectories of a free electron around a proton?
THNX in advance

This sounds like more of a quantum mechanics question.

A short, strong electrical pulse should be able to alter an electron's probability distribution from a ring-like orbit path to an elliptical orbit path with a sharp peak (think wave packet). Any electrical pulse *should* "nudge" an electron so that it's probability of being in a particular location increases.

Wherever the electron's probability density is highest should begin to orbit in an elliptical manner.
