What is the intuition behind divergences for the sunset diagram? I know that there is quadratic divergence by why no quartic divergence or higher?

You have two loops and three propagators. Counting the powers of momentum in those gives you a naive estimate of the degree of divegence.

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!
