Except that it isn't. Of course, with a field picture in mind, it is natural and intuitive that it travels through both slits at once... -

But this throws away relativity, since the QFT Schrodinger equation forces you to pick a particular frame, which makes your definition... -

Of course. But that doesn't mean the mathematical objects are reality. Nor does it mean that the mapping in question has to be simple... -

I would say QFT also treats waves as derived--they're coherent states, just as particles are Fock states. The fundamental entities in... -

Quantum fields aren't waves, they're operators. So I don't think "fields as fundamental" is the same thing as "wave-realist". -
