We have two concepts - discrete and continuous

While the concept of discrete tends to be associated with quantum mechanics;

Is quantum entanglement a resource that hints at continuity even when (the entangled particles are) separated in time-space?

Things can be discrete and continuous in different ways and the concepts embody a range of ideas. Can you be specific?
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles.

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!
