What are the quantum equilibrium conditions in dBB? Why our universe is in quantum equilibrium? How can disrupt that equilibrium? In labs, can we create any little universes that are not in quantum equilibrium?

Any help?

It is the assumption that in a typical ensemble particle positions are distributed according to |psi|^2.

Because it is the most probable distribution. (This is similar to the fact that in classical mechanics thermodynamic equilibrium is the most probable distribution.)

It seems that we cannot do that at will.
 
I understand that the world of interpretations of quantum mechanics is very complex, as experimental data hasn't completely falsified the main deterministic interpretations (such as Everett), vs non-deterministc ones, however, I read in online sources that Objective Collapse theories are being increasingly challenged. Does this mean that deterministic interpretations are more likely to be true? I always understood that the "collapse" or "measurement problem" was how we phrased the fact that...
I keep reading throughout this forum from many members that the general motivation for finding a deeper explanation within QM, specifically with regards to quantum entanglement, is due to an inability to grasp reality based off of classical intuitions. On the other hand, if QM was truly incomplete, and there was a deeper explanation that we haven't grasped yet that would explain why particles tend to be correlated to each other seemingly instantly despite vast separated distances, then that...
