Following the strategy of stochastic quantization, based on variational principles for processes taking values on a discrete configuration space, we give a detailed and self-contained description of the stochastic processes associated to a two-level quantum system, of interest for the physical description of spin-½ particles and Fermi fields. In particular we investigate the class of processes related to unperturbated quantum evolution and those simulating quantum-measurement procedures leading to mixture formation.
