In simple words, the ergodicity hypothesis states that in an ensemble of particles, the motion of a single particle is representative for the entire ensemble.

He offers an analogy from physics: Although the movement of a single particle looks random, «the behavior of a gas made up of millions of particles is very predictable.»

The fuzzy quantum shape that describes the speed or location of a single particle, its wave function, has now been directly measured in the laboratory, giving this mathematical concept a small dose of reality.

Quantum technology uses millions of single particles of light to send encryption keys.

Usually, only the wave properties of single particles play a role, but now researchers at the Vienna Center for Quantum Science and Technology, Vienna University of Technology have succeeded in quantum mechanically controlling hundreds of Rubidium atoms of an ultracold Bose - Einstein - condensate by shaking it in just the right way.

But these models require computer «averaging» of data from analysis of thousands, or even millions of like molecules, because it is so difficult to resolve the features of a single particle.

It works well as metaphor but it isn't merely a signifier for something like the dissipating energy of a dying sun, or the path of single particle, it has its own mute narrative and peculiarity, making a place for itself within the everyday weirdness of the world.
