Abstract
Both quantum mechanics and stochastic-process theory deal with dynamical systems the behaviors of which can be predicted only probabilistically. It is shown here that the measurable behavior of an elementary quantum system can be modeled as a non-Markovian stochastic process. The conclusion that quantum behavior can generally be modeled as a real stochastic process eliminates some mysterious characteristics of quantum mechanics when viewed in Copenhagen-interpretation terms.Keywords
