"Instead quantum properties depend strongly on their observer: they are empty until co-dependently created. So physics provides a time-dependent, co-emergent reality...reminiscent of shunyata [Emptiness or void]."
Does a Single Lone Particle Have a Wavefunction ψψ ? YES. An Experimental Test of Einstein’s “Unfinished Revolution” https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-77367-0_7
I propose a simple experiment providing evidence that each individual particle is described by a wavefunction of its own. This is contrary to the interpretation of quantum mechanics (QM) apparently favored by Einstein toward the end of his career, at the time his famous autobiographical notes were written. His so-called statistical interpretation holds that individual particles do not have their own wavefunctions; rather, the quantum wavefunction ψ is supposed to ONLY apply to a very multiple, large ensemble of identically prepared particles. For a single particle it fails Einstein criteria of reality and completeness. The experiment proposed here requires heralded single photon counting. In essence we simply prepare many many down-converted signal particles—each heralded by its own accompanying idler that triggers the whole apparatus; prepare the signal photons in different states, assuring that no wavefunction is represented more than once in the entire set of measurement instances. Then take the full set of individual particle counts and show they agree with the implications of standard QM. The exposition makes several connections to Mike Horne's interests, collaborations and work. The specific property used herein is polarization. For linear polarizations we recover the cosine-squared Law of Malus by preparing individual photons in all possible orientations, then measuring their passage through a fixed orientation analyzer.
