Beyond Quantum with Khrennikov
Andrei Khrennikov’s *Beyond Quantum* presents Prequantum Classical Statistical Field Theory (PCSFT), a framework that seeks to derive quantum mechanics from classical random fields. The book argues that detector calibration, not abstract qubits, is the true source of quantum statistics and distinguishes contextual probability from traditional Kolmogorov models. It proposes concrete experimental tests—using superconducting transition‑edge sensors or kinetic‑inductance detectors—to probe deviations from the Born rule and introduces a new constant α to quantify pre‑quantum jitter. While mathematically rigorous, the reviewer notes a dense style and calls for clearer experimental roadmaps.
