[QUOTE="vanhees71, post: 6587429, member: 260864"] In Dehmelt's paper it is describe, how various quantities using single electrons/ions in a Penning trap are measured. I still don't understand, why you think there cannot be statistics collected using a single quantum. I can also get statics of throwing a single coin again and again to check whether it's a fair one or not. I just do the "random experiment" again and again using the same quantum and collect statistics and evaluate confidence levels and all that. Another review paper, which may be more to the point, because it covers both theory and experiment, is [URL]https://doi.org/10.1103/RevModPhys.58.233[/URL] I also think that very rarely one does full state determinations. What's done are preparations and subsequent measurements of observables of interest. I'm also not an experimental physicist and far from knowing any details, how the current CERN experiments (ATLAS, CMS, and ALICE) measure electrons and photons. I use their results to compare to theoretical models, which are based on standard many-body QFT and simulations of the fireball created in heavy-ion collisions. All this is based on standard quantum theory and thus after all on Born's rule. Here you can look at some papers by the ALICE collaboration as one example for what's measured concerning photons created in pp, pA, and AA collisions (pT spectra, elliptic flow, etc.). Concerning polarization measurements (particularly for dileptons) that's a pretty new topic, and of course an even greater challenge than the spectra measured for decades now. After all these are "rare probes". [/QUOTE]
