论文摘要
天生的规则在量子力学中提供了理论与观察之间的基本联系，但其起源仍然是一个谜。我们在量子光学器件的背景下仅使用经典物理学以及真实而不是虚拟的量子电动力真空的假设来考虑这个问题。与观察的连接是通过经典的强度阈值检测器进行的，该检测器用作光子检测的简单，确定性的模型。通过遵循有关离散检测事件的数据分析的标准实验惯例，我们表明该模型能够再现几种被认为是本质上独特量子的现象，从而提供了更大的量子古典边界的阐明。
The Born rule provides a fundamental connection between theory and observation in quantum mechanics, yet its origin remains a mystery. We consider this problem within the context of quantum optics using only classical physics and the assumption of a quantum electrodynamic vacuum that is real rather than virtual. The connection to observation is made via classical intensity threshold detectors that are used as a simple, deterministic model of photon detection. By following standard experimental conventions of data analysis on discrete detection events, we show that this model is capable of reproducing several observed phenomena thought to be uniquely quantum in nature, thus providing greater elucidation of the quantum-classical boundary.
