I have a quick, general, query.

When conducting an experiment with entangled photons, measuring in the +/- basis would mean in the 45/135 basis?

I don't think I've seen that notation before (45/135 associated with +/-).

Same. I am just wondering what the basis is also known as. I'm referring to the delayed choice entanglement swapping experiment from 2012. They denote polarization, when a bell-state measurement occurred, as |+> and |->

Found the answer: it is indeed denoting the |45> and |135> basis. Thank you, 'The Quantum Divide' by Chris Gerry, pg. 111.

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!
