Can anyone break down "quantum interference" in the tunneling transport through aromatic organic molecules? The Math is a little fuzzy, but with a few seminal reference or a conceptual description i might be able to wrap my mind lips around this knowledge pop! haha. any help would be appreciated.

I'm assuming that Quantum Interference refers to the interference of the tunneling particle that determines the probability of where it can be located?
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles.

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!
