You could put it that way. To elaborate:
There is a probability that the particle is a wave.
There is a probability that the particle is a particle.
And until we experimentally observe the particle, the particle does not exist at all, except as a mathematical probability.
And then there is that big group of quantum physicists who believe that it is that very act of observation, which causes the particle to manifest as a wave or as a particle.
And this essentially is why LOA is discussed in connection with QM.
Because (so the argument goes), observation implies consciousness, and if there is no consciousness, there is no observation, and if there is no observation, there is neither wave nor particle, and if there is neither wave nor particle, well, reality would not exist.
In other words, reality depends on consciousness.
Now of course there are alternative explanations of the collapse of the wavefunction in quantum physics. One other explanation is quantum physicist Hugh Everitt's Many Worlds theory.
It is basically the same explanation as the "multidimensional realities" given by Seth, a non-physical entity previously channeled by the now-deceased psychic Jane Roberts.
And after Seth, came Abraham via Esther Hicks.
