    "abstract": "The quantum field of a single particle is expressed as the sum of the\nparticle\u0027s ordinary wave function and the vacuum fluctuations. An exact\nquantum-field calculation shows that the squared amplitude of this field sums,\nat any time, to a delta function representing a discrete corpuscle at one point\nand zero everywhere else. The peak of the delta function is located at the\npoint where the vacuum fluctuations interfere constructively with the ordinary\nwave function. Similarly, the collapsed wave function after a measurement of an\nobservable is determined by interference between the initial wave function and\nvacuum fluctuations.",
