ABSTRACT=We use discrete-event simulation on a digital computer to study two different models of experimentally realizable quantum walks. The simulation models comply with Einstein locality,
are as ``realistic'' as the one of the simple random walk in that the particles follow well-defined trajectories, are void of concepts such as particle-wave duality and wave-function collapse, and reproduce the quantum-theoretical results by means of a cause-and-effect, event-by-event process.
