Does anyone know where I can find information about using quantum mechanics on the diatomic molecule (E.g. Lectures on YouTube or just notes)?

Thanks.

Kind of a hard question to answer, since it's typically general-QM books, and books on atomic/molecular stuff in general.

But I do know Landau-Lifgarbagez's QM book (chapter XI) does do a pretty thorough investigation into most aspects of diatomics (pretty much as far as you can go analytically).

Anything specific you're after?

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!
