Quantum link models have been proposed as an alternative regularization of lattice gauge field theories. The U(1) quantum link models are constructed by replacing the parallel transporters of Wilsonian lattice gauge theory with quantum spin operators acting on 2S+1 states per link. The original gauge theory is recovered in the limit of large representations S → ∞. Due to the dramatic increase of the size of the Hilbert space, investigating the dynamics of these models for S ≫ 1 becomes difficult. We study the limit of large spin representations by a functional integral approach and report on the transition from finite S to S → ∞. As a specific application, we present results on the dynamical version of the Schwinger effect.
