Abstract It is shown that the Bruhat-Tits tree for thep-adic linear groupGL(2) is a natural non-archimedean analog of the open string world sheet. The boundary of the tree can be identified with the field ofp-adic numbers. We construct a “lattice” quantum field theory on the Bruhat-Tits tree with a simple local lagrangian and show that it leads to the Freund-Olson amplitudes for emission processes of the particle states from the boundary.
