Let's assume that we have two fields which doesn't interact at the beginning.
But after some time this fields start to weakly interact. Interaction lasts only finite period of time. The density of lagrangian is:
<br /> L = \partial_{\mu} \psi \partial^{\mu} \psi + m^2 \psi^2 +<br /> \partial_{\mu} \phi \partial^{\mu} \phi + M^2 \phi^2 + \epsilon(t) \psi \phi<br />
(\epsilon(t) is different then 0 only on finite period of time)

How we could find a state of fields after interaction if we knew the state before?
How perturbative theory works when we describe evolution of system using
lagrangian not hamiltonian? Probably we first should find the fields after interaction
(from Euler equation) but how we can obtain a state?

You have to use Keldysh techniques / closed-time-path integral, where a number of perturbative schemes followed.

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!
