A Stochastic Model of a Quantum Field Theory

Abstract

The problem of obtaining a realistic, relativistic description of a quantum system is discussed in the context of a simple (light-cone) lattice field theory. A natural stochastic model is proposed which, although non-local, is relativistic (in the appropriate lattice sense), and which is operationally indistinguishable from the standard quantum theory. The generalization to a broad class of lattice theories is briefly described.
