How is it possible to measure the second-order correlation function with a device that can only perform start and stop measurements, and for each measurement, it can only record 5 stops? I understand that experimentally it is necessary to measure the coincidences, the independent events in each channel, the total measurement time, and the coincidence window. However, it is still not clear to me how to measure these independent events using only starts and stops. The device has 2 reception channels.

Perhaps you could share with us a reference for what you are asking about. As written, I cannot discern the context - and I doubt others will either.

What device? A specific reference would be helpful.

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!
