Abstract
We study the behavior of the atomic matter immersed in a zero-point radiation field, which is taken as the source of the endless stochastic motion of electrons. The starting point is a statistical phase-space equation for a particle in interaction with the field. Under certain natural approximations, the system reaches a stationary condition; the corresponding reduced description obtained in configuration space is just the Schrödinger quantum mechanics. Quantum nonlocality is revisited from this point of view and is shown to appear as an artifact of the reduced description. The theory presented also serves to explain why usual quantum mechanics is not amenable to a phase-space formulation.
