quantum mechanics - Does an electron move from one excitation state to another, or jump?



I'm wondering, when an electron changes state, does it move from one state to another over some (very small) time period? Or does it change from one state to another in no time? If the former, what does it mean for it to be in-between states (for however short a period of time)? If the latter, how does it teleport?


(Does this question make sense?)
