How would YOU, since you're so big on science, demonstrate which neural, chemical, atomic, or QM systems do or do not experience what things are like, and which do not?
As I said, first you should define what qualia is and what you mean by 'experiencing'.
Only then can we "demonstrate which neural, chemical, atomic, or QM systems do or do not experience what things are like, and which do not".
So go ahead. Give me a sold definition.

First rule in science is to define what you mean.
