Hallo,

Why can we assume (in the case of simple harmonic occilator)

that at the maximum momentum ,pmax, we can

evluate pmax=\Deltap?

Thanks,
Omri

I don't think you can, unless there's something more to the problem (for instance, if there's some randomness in the phase of the oscillator).

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!
