Ok so I think electrons and photons are not actually particles. Look up phonons

I see youâve found statistical mechanics. A very under appreciated area of physics. Checkout the derivativation of this equation sometime: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SackurâTetrode_equation Itâs a good example of where quantum mechanics assumptions leads to a tangible conclusion.

If you take that equation, and maximize entropy using the other free variables, you end up with the ideal gas law. So the ideal gas law is there because itâs the maximal entropy state of a gas. And thatâs actually very hard to see unless you assume the gas particles are quantum in nature

Am I to understand that youâre saying phonons are able to replicate quantum properties because they themselves are made up of quantum particles?

Actually no, my quantum has comment is unrelated to phonons đ
