Mostly as an abstraction on top of a continuous wavefunction/quantum field
> Spacetime ends up being discretizable
As far as I know this is speculative and usually assumed by physicists to be false; it's definitely not a required feature of quantum mechanics per se, and as far as I know not of any other well-accepted theory.

This was from a cursory google search.
