If an electron is in an infinite 1-D square well of width L, how do you get oscillation frequency of the probability density for any energy state n?

You think about the meaning of the phrase "stationary state" ... :wink:

stationary state... I didn't understand that term till I found e^iwt disappear when it is squared.

so frequency has to be 0.

Thanks ^^

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!
