How to find wave function if potential function is unknown. I have only the scattering data: time and coordinates of scattering particle.

I think that from scattering data you should get some information about the form factor of your target (potential) and then try to model you potential according to the form factor.

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!
