What does it mean to say that a quantum state or wavefunction is constrained?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
And i will also like to know if quantum states are only applicable for subatomic particles

You'll have to give some context.

No, they apply to every system. However, macroscopic systems can be difficult to model quantum mechanically.

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!
