Stochastic interpretation of quantum mechanics assuming that vacuum fields are real

TL;DR

This paper reviews a stochastic interpretation of quantum phenomena based on the assumption that vacuum fields are real, providing a heuristic approach to phenomena like entanglement, the Casimir effect, and photoelectric effect.

Contribution

It introduces a realistic, stochastic model of the quantum vacuum that offers an alternative perspective to standard quantum mechanics explanations.

Findings

Stochastic vacuum fields can explain particle behavior of light and the photoelectric effect.

The approach accounts for entanglement and Bell inequality tests.

Potential formal connection with standard quantum formalism via Wigner representation.

Abstract

I review the realistic interpretation of several typically quantum phenomena using a heuristic approach that rests on the assumption that the electromagnetic quantum vacuum is a stochastic field. I include the particle behaviour of light, the photoelectric effect, the hdrogen atom, the Casimir effect, and entanglement in the optical tests of Bell inequalities. The stochastic approach might be formally connected with the standard Hilbert space formalism via the Wigner representation of the field.
