Thickness of Quantum Well ??

As I know there are two quantum wells exist.

1. Single Quantum Well
2. Multiple Quantum Well

My ques is that : How to find the thickness of a quantum well ? is there any equation to find quantum well thickness ? for single or multiple ?

Usually I have look on papers they just simply put the thickness they have used in their modeling and experimental but not given from where they got it.

Thanks in advance.

What kind of well and what kind of papers are you talking about?

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!
