Emergence of the Born rule in quantum optics

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...
