I am looking for a textbook that introduces and discusses the path integral formulation of non-relativistic quantum mechanics? Would you have some suggestions for me? Thanks.

My advice is to look for Feynman and Hibbs' book of 1965. Normally many books on QM have a special chapter on the path integral formulation anyways, but perhaps you won't find such discussions as enough.

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!
