Quantum (number) configurations, but not classical configurations, repeat within the limits of spacetime.

Would you entertain such a definition?

I believe it to be a fundamental concept hereto overlooked.

What do you mean by "repeat within the limits of spacetime."?

-Z
 
To be identical under simple symmetry transformations (translation, rotation, etc.)

Is this old hat?

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!
