TL;DR Summary
All the time in quantum we hear that particles can appear and disappear "without" a cause or a main reason in this thread we will touch the idea or possibility that these particles can appear and disappear "with" a cause or is it illogical to think that?
The first thing we need for this is to define what a particle is...
It is an object that has specific intrinsic properties and is described by a wave sign

How to measure it?

This is done by the interaction of the particle to be measured with the measurement system. When measuring, the wave function collapses and the quantum beam that represents the particle collapses into one specific state that reflects the observed value.

Now let's imagine a particle called A and a particle called B.

Its description is:

Ψ> = a|A>|B>+b|Ā>|B̅>

In the form of B and the body A, there are individual body states and they are A> and |B>

Their opposite states are: Ā> and |B̅>

Their Linear combination =a/b

When we measure particle A the wave function of the entire system collapses

So it becomes |Ψ>→|A>|B>

Thus particle "b" changes. If body A is not measured, the state of the system remains in the superposition and is considered to not exist in the first place.

if the body is not measured, it is considered non-existent, and when measured, the wave function collapses to a specific state, The collapsed state is the reason for its appearance and disappearance, and it is not unknown in the quantum world. On the contrary, Werner heisenberg in his theory proved this.

So that leaves us on a single thing...does this mean particles can appear and disappear "with" a cause? Or a main reason? Because tge collapsed state by itself is the reason for its appearance and disappearance?

Where do "we hear" this? Please give a specific reference. Your post looks confused, and I suspect you are either using an unreliable pop science source or you are misinterpreting what your source is saying.

I am not sure if this falls under classical physics or quantum physics or somewhere else (so feel free to put it in the right section), but is there any micro state of the universe one can think of which if evolved under the current laws of nature, inevitably results in outcomes such as a table levitating? That example is just a random one I decided to choose but I'm really asking about any event that would seem like a "miracle" to the ordinary person (i.e. any event that doesn't seem to...
Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...
