What is the smallest measurable length and amount of time that can be achieved with todays technology ?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
What do you mean with "achieved"?? Do you mean: the smallest length that we can observe with a microscope? The smallest length that we can measure? The smallest length of something we can construct??

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!
