We propose a protocol to test Born’s rule (a fundamental axiom of quantum mechanics) via the Sorkin test, applied to photoionization of helium, induced by the combination of an ultrashort extreme ultraviolet pulse with a trichromatic infrared laser pulse. We numerically simulate the outcome of the Sorkin test, the Sorkin parameter κ, for realistic parameters and randomly sampled, typical experimental imperfections. The latter do not only lead to a spread, but also to a systematic offset of κ from its ideal value κ=0. A determination of κ with an achievable precision of the order 10−3−10−4 is predicted, which is comparable to the precision of 10−3 reached in the best optical experiments [Kauten, et. al., New J. Phys. 19, 033017 (2017)] in the quantum regime.
