I'm looking for the QFT treatment of the above paper.
Anyone know of any good resources. I don't like the web search explanations I've been running across especially wiki in this case. The arxiv paper above doesn't have the details I'm looking for. Not sure how far to trust the findings in the above paper lol. Doesn't have the details I would consider trustworthy

The QFT articles I've been studying don't have details on this. PS don't worry about math complexity the more detail the better

update found the details I needed, though not through any papers directly related to the above.

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!
