Hello guys,

I struggle with one step in a calculation to show a quantum operator equality .It would be nice to get some help from you.The problematic step is red marked.I make a photo of my whiteboard activities.The main problem is the step where two infinite sums pops although I work permanently with one Infinite sum and one finite sum.In the solution there is a index shift before the last step.Maybe this is the reason why suddenly one more infinite sum pops out.It would be nice if you can explain to me from where this second infinite sum comes from .
Thank you

Thank you for your reply.
I thought I wouldn't get any reply so I have deleted them to reduce server costs.

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!
