Learning outcomes
Candidates should be able to:
(j) show an understanding of the existence of discrete electron
energy levels in isolated atoms (e.g. atomic hydrogen) and
deduce how this leads to spectral lines

There is no difference, it's just the classic physics did not have the right tool to explain why electorn does not fall onto the nucleous, as it should

2 It is the other way round - the wave function represents the uncertainty principle.. And there is no uncertainty with the future events! As in the classic physics! If you build a system and it has a process within, which would represent a change over time, it would follow precisely this path and nothing else!! Like domino..

[nickharvey7]

Could the difference between quantum and classical physics be because quantum physics represents the passage of time itself?

This is based on just two simple postulates

1. The first is that the quantum wave particle function represents the forward passage of time or Arrow of Time itself photon by photon

2. The second is that Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle that is formed by the wave function is the same uncertainty we have with any future event
