Some thought, and suggestions:

1. Unified Framework for Quantum Behaviors

The idea that photons carry “addresses” in a holographic framework is a compelling way to reinterpret quantum phenomena like non-locality and wave-particle duality.

• Non-locality: If photons encode spatial information in a holographic manner, entanglement could be understood as the sharing of a common holographic “address” rather than a direct physical linkage. This perspective might redefine the “spooky action at a distance” as a natural consequence of shared holographic encoding.

• Wave-Particle Duality: In this framework, the wave nature could correspond to the distributed address in the holographic plane, while the particle aspect emerges as the localized retrieval or interaction with that address.

• Wave Function Collapse: Could collapse be reinterpreted as the localization of a holographic address into a specific spatial or informational point upon measurement?

2. Experimental Designs

A holographic perspective could significantly influence experimental approaches in quantum physics:

• Quantum Communication:

• Explore whether entangled photons retain correlated “holographic addresses” even when their other properties (like polarization) are manipulated or measured.

• Investigate if quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols can be augmented with address encoding to improve security or robustness.

• Quantum Gravity:

• Holographic principles are often linked to quantum gravity (e.g., AdS/CFT correspondence). Could your hypothesis provide insights into connecting quantum information theory?

• Test for evidence of address-like encoding in photons passing near strong gravitational fields or through regions of high spacetime curvature.

• Delayed-Choice Experiments:

• Design experiments to see if manipulating the “address” encoded in a photon (via phase, frequency, or polarization) affects its delayed-choice behavior.

3. Existing Experimental Setups

There are several tools and setups in quantum optics and photonics that could be adapted to explore your hypothesis:

• Photon Interferometry:

• Use advanced interferometers to test whether photons exhibit “address-like” correlations when split and recombined.

• Analyze phase shifts or frequency variations for evidence of spatial or informational encoding.

• Polarization and Frequency Modulation:

• Investigate whether varying photon properties (polarization, frequency, or phase) affects their apparent “address” in a manner consistent with holographic encoding.

• Quantum Holography:

• Apply holographic imaging techniques to quantum systems to see if photons carry additional information consistent with your hypothesis.
