Classical signal viewpoint to bunching and anti-bunching

The similarity between classical wave mechanics and quan- tum mechanics (QM) played an important role in the devel- opment of QM (starting with works of De Broglie, Schrodinger, "late Einstein", Lamb, Lande, Mandel, Marshall, Santos, Boyer, and many others). We present a new wave-type ap- proach, so called prequantum classical statistical field theory (PCSFT). PCSFT explores an analogy between some quan- tum phenomena and classical theory of random fields. Quan- tum systems are interpreted as symbolic representations of such fields (not only for photons, cf. Lande and Lamb, but even for massive particles). All quantum averages and cor- relations (including composite systems in entangled states) can be represented as averages and correlations for classical random fields. In this paper PCSFT is used to provide a clas- sical signal representation of bunching and anti-bunching. At least the latter is typically considered as essentially quantum (nonclassical) phenomenon.
