Bell's Jump Process in Discrete Time
arXiv:quant-ph/0506066 · doi:10.1209/epl/i2005-10297-5
Abstract
The jump process introduced by J. S. Bell in 1986, for defining a quantum field theory without observers, presupposes that space is discrete whereas time is continuous. In this letter, our interest is to find an analogous process in discrete time. We argue that a genuine analog does not exist, but provide examples of processes in discrete time that could be used as a replacement.
