We predict that low energy galactic neutrinos, constrained by the limited range of vector boson interactions, behave as a classical ideal gas.

• Abstract: We reveal that the mechanism driving the manifestation of wave effects is fundamentally embedded within quantum field theory. These wave effects become real when conservation laws are satisfied, allowing quantum effects to fully materialize, and remain virtual when these laws are violated. The materialization process is governed by external sources that supply conserved quantities, and by virtual particles that carry these quantities. For example, a photon in a region of constructive and destructive interference can form either a real or virtual interference pattern, contingent on the availability of these conserved quantities. Our findings also resolve a longstanding paradox in an experiment that challenges the principle of complementarity. Furthermore, we predict that low energy galactic neutrinos, constrained by the limited range of vector boson interactions, behave as a classical ideal gas, a prediction we believe is experimentally testable. These insights not only address fundamental questions in quantum mechanics but also open new avenues for future exploration.

  We find that measurements cause quantum wave functions to collapse. By studying the overlooked phenomena of quantum wave function collapse, we find that quantum eigenstate sets may be artificially controlled. We propose an innovative method for direct information transmission utilizing photon wave function collapse and entanglement.

We show that non-linear quantum effects can be observed in macroscopic systems even in the presence of de-coherence.

  Wheeler's delayed-choice experiment was conceived to illustrate the paradoxical nature of wave-particle duality in quantum mechanics. In the experiment, quantum light can exhibit either wave-like interference patterns or particle-like anti-correlations. A variant known as the quantum eraser uses entangled light to recover the lost interference in a seemingly nonlocal and retrocausal manner.
