Wondering who did the sequential Stern-Gerlach apparati experiments and who developed the ensuing formalism. If you could tell me the original paper sources without much trouble that would be great. Thanks.

Hello. I see two signs have been atached to my question; they are envelopes, one with an asterisk, the other one with what looks like a grenade, or a spark plug or a short thermometer. Can one of the moderators please tell me what the signs mean and where I can find their meaning in the future? Thanks.
 
If you hit "private messages" in the higher right corner. Then you'll get a menu on the left. There you hit "list subscribtions", then you see all threads that you have posted in.

Scroll then down, and there you'll see all the "envelopes" and an explanation.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

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!
