Hello...
We have 3 fermions (s=1/2) at the ground state of a harmonic oscillator moving over the x-axis with a the classic hamiltonian for a three particle oscillator :
H =(1/2m)*(P1)^2 +((1/2)*m(w^2)((x1)^2)) +(1/2m)*(P2)^2 +((1/2)*m(w^2)((x2)^2)) +(1/2m)*(P3)^2 +((1/2)*m(w^2)((x3)^2))

we have a pertubation between fermions that is:
W=g*m*((w^2)/h)*(S1z*x2*x3+S2z*x3*x1+S3z*x1*x2).

And it is asked the chande of the ground state's energy due to the pertubation.

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!
