We present lattice simulations of nonequilibrium quantum fields in Minkowskian space-time. Starting from a nonthermal initial state, the real-time quantum ensemble in (3 + 1) dimensions is constructed by a stochastic process in an additional (5th) "Langevin-time." For the example of a self-interacting scalar field, we show how to resolve apparent unstable Langevin dynamics and compare our quantum results with those obtained in classical field theory. Such a direct simulation method is crucial for our understanding of collision experiments of heavy nuclei or other nonequilibrium phenomena in strongly coupled quantum many-body systems.
