Would it be possible to make a quantum computer with fluidic logic (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluidics), using a superfluid, like liquid Helium-4, as the the "current"?

I think the question I would ask is, what are you trying to gain from switching to this very awkward material? The only advantage I would see is reduction of friction losses, but I'm not sure that's even a major concern in fluidics. On the downside, now you have a device that needs to stay below 2K, and you get hard-to-deal-with side effects.

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!
