Abstract

The very old problem of the statistical content of quantum mechanics is studied in a novel framework. We show that quantum mechanics (QM) can be considered as a measurement model of prequantum classical statistical field theory (PCSFT): a pure field theory reproducing quantum correlations. We present a measurement scheme for classical signals which reproduces the basic rule of QM, the Born's rule. This is the scheme of threshold type detection. Calibration of detectors plays a crucial role. The size of the detection threshold is determined by the mean energy of a prequantum signal. QM is interpreted as theory of measurements of classical random signals with threshold type detectors which are calibrated in a proper way. The essence of this paper is the creation of a rigorous mathematical model of threshold detection of classical (ergodic) stochastic processes.
