How Can You Calculate Landau Level Orbitals and Wavefunctions?

hey,

i am concerned with landau levels and wanted to ask you whether you have a link, where one can see the orbitals- just like the orbitals for the hydrogen atom- for at least a few electron states?

otherwise it would be sufficient if you could give me a hint how to calculate them.

i guess, i need to calculate the probability density as the square of the wavefunction.

but how do I get the orbitals, which should be the most probable 90%?

does anyone here have an idea?

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!
