if vacuum has virtual particles it should have temperature right.? If a perfect vacuum exists ie without any virtual particles..whats temperature of this .is it zero.?
Virtual temperature. What would be the meaning of that? The average energy content of the vacuum expressed as if it is a gas in a box? That looks like the cosmological constant (some 6e-9 Joule/m3) as being the amount seemingly to escape from that virtual box of radiation gas. If it is balanced that would be the temperature on the outside as well.

I don't mention virtual temperature anyway...did u conclude that temperature of vacuum to be zero Kelvin.?

Temperature is propotional to the average kinetic energy of an idealized mon-atomic gas. So if in space there is some energy, there will be some temperature. Just a few nano Kelvin above absolute zero.
If talking about virtual particles with properties like inverse time travel, negative mass or what ever is needed to get the dimensions right for the result to make sense, I do not see any sensible way of assigning a real (as opposed to the imaginary part) value to something completely imaginary/virtual. That virtual temperature could be well below the absolute 0 temperature

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!
I don't know why the electrons in atoms are considered in the orbitals while they could be in sates which are superpositions of these orbitals? If electrons are in the superposition of these orbitals their energy expectation value is also constant, and the atom seems to be stable!
