Can the wave function for entangled particles be solved perturbatively? Are there virtual processes involved with this? Thanks again.

The question does not make sense. A wave function is not something that has to be solved. Schrodinger equation is something that has to be solved, and the wave function is its solution.

That being said, to compute the entangled wave function, perturbation theory and virtual processes may sometimes be useful, but often they are not needed at all.

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!
