Is an electron anti neutrino and a positron neutrino the same thing?

Yes, technically, but I've never seen the phrase "positron neutrino" actually used by anyone before. Using "positron neutrino" would probably confuse most people.

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!
