This is a ambarassingly simple question, the question is if my explantion is acceptable. I have come across the integrant form negative infinity to positive infinity and I have come across the integrand from 2pi to zero that is set equal to 1 and then abs value squared of the wavefunction and so on, this is all clear to me.
My explanation concernes the 2pi zero integrand, does one use this (2pi zero) because one is talking about a circular area?

Thanks, for clarifications

In depends on what's the variable integrated from 0 to 2\pi. If it's something like the azimuthal angle, then [0,2\pi) is simply the full domain.
 
Yes something will angles. I guess my assumption is correct then if it concernes angles. Thankyou EInji

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!
According to recent podcast between Jacob Barandes and Sean Carroll, Barandes claims that putting a sensitive qubit near one of the slits of a double slit interference experiment is sufficient to break the interference pattern. Here are his words from the official transcript: Is that true? Caveats I see: The qubit is a quantum object, so if the particle was in a superposition of up and down, the qubit can be in a superposition too. Measuring the qubit in an orthogonal direction might...
