These are two sites that give good descriptions of what Feynman diagrams are. The latter is a bit more in depth:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feynman_diagram"
Also, here are some great videos where Feynman himself teaches QED. He describes the diagrams in the 3rd video:

Thank you very much. The more I read the message board contents, the more it becomes apparent that this is not so much a Q&A or "where can I find it" as a forum to post an in-depth specific topic vs. something that I could have googled. None the less, it appeared to be a place for 'lovers of physics' e.g. me. I appreciate your time to reply.
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles.
Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

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!
The wavefunction of an atomic orbital like ##p_x##-orbital is generally in the form ##f(\theta)e^{i\phi}## so the probability of the presence of particle is identical at all the directional angles ##\phi##. However, it is dumbbell-shape along the x direction which shows ##\phi##-dependence!
