We establish a general map between Grassmann functionals for fermions and probability or weight distributions for Ising spins. The equivalence between the two formulations is based on identical transfer matrices and expectation values of products of observables. The map preserves locality properties and can be realized for arbitrary dimensions. We present a simple example where a quantum field theory for free massless Dirac fermions in two-dimensional Minkowski space is represented by an asymmetric Ising model on a euclidean square lattice.

  1. Quantum observables for probabilistic classical particles

    quant-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Solutions of the Liouville equation can be rewritten as a Schrödinger equation whose observables are non-commuting 'quantum' operators, reproducing the harmonic oscillator and hydrogen atom spectra as special subsystems.

  2. Classical probabilistic realisation of quantum double-slit interference

    quant-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Classical probability distributions over complex scalar fields realize Schrödinger dynamics and double-slit interference for a quantum particle via conserved-charge subsystems.
