The electron is the most basic version of a fermion (spin 1⁄2), and is the focus of the modeling work here. We attempt to model it using the principles of stochastic particles, as it couples with the Maxwell EM field.
There is a quote somewhere about how if one could just understand this one thing: the electron coupled to the EM feld, then one would understand all the essential mysteries of quantum physics.
