Abstract
The 1922 Stern–Gerlach experiment quickly proved fundamental to quantum physics. The benchmark experiment led to the quantization of angular momenta, discovery of electron spin, and study of the measurement problem and superposition. Immediately, Heisenberg and Einstein proposed multi-stage Stern–Gerlach experiments to explore deeper mysteries of directional quantization. In the classic multi-stage Stern–Gerlach experiment conducted by Frisch and Segrè, the Majorana (Landau–Zener) and Rabi formulae diverge afar from the experimental observation while the physical mechanism for electron-spin collapse remains unidentified. Here, introducing the physical co-quantum concept provides a plausible physical mechanism and predicts the experimental observation in absolute units without fitting (i.e., no parameters adjusted) with a p-value less than one per million, which is the probability that the co-quantum theory happens to match the experimental observation purely by chance. Further, the co-quantum concept is corroborated by statistically reproducing exactly the wave function, density operator, and uncertainty relation for electron spin in Stern–Gerlach experiments.
