Can anyone tell me if there are any practical experiments that show the undisputed proof to show that a photon (of any wavelength) interacts with one and only one electron ? As described in the photo-electric effect ?

cklein said:If a photon can indeed release more than 1 electron then it would be possible to use a semiconductor or other sensor to measure the number of photons as well as their wavelength in 1 measurement. Is that not a violation of the uncertainty principle ?

A quantum photon is a fundamental particle of light that carries energy and behaves both as a particle and a wave.
This phenomenon is known as superposition, where a quantum particle can exist in multiple states or locations simultaneously.
This has important implications in quantum technologies, such as quantum computing and quantum teleportation, where the ability to be in multiple states or locations allows for faster and more efficient processing and communication.
The location of a quantum photon is determined by the principles of probability and wave function collapse. When a measurement is made, the photon's location is determined at random, collapsing its wave function into a single state.
No, the act of observation causes the wave function to collapse, resulting in the photon being in a single state or location. However, through careful manipulation and control of quantum systems, we can indirectly observe the effects of superposition and entanglement.
