Stochastic formulation of quantum mechanics based on a complex Langevin equation

H Okamoto

It is shown that a stochastic process described by a complex Langevin equation leads to real-time quantum mechanics. The author also derives a relation between a transition probability in the theory and a transition probability amplitude in real-time quantum mechanics in the framework of path-integral formulations. Finally, taking a harmonic oscillator case as an example, the Fokker-Planck equation is solved exactly, and a non-dissipation property of the stochastic process is pointed out.

Derivation of the Schrödinger equation IV: Stochastic and the Langevin Equations for Quantum Mechanics

Olavo Leopoldino da Silva Filho, Marcello Caio Ramon e Barros Ferreira

This is the fourth paper of a series devoted to mathematically derive the Schrödinger equation using stochastic constructs. We then show that Quantum Mechanics has a stochastic support by following two paths: we first present a stochastic derivation already known in the literature and show that it is equivalent to the characteristic function derivation, made by us in the first paper of this series. However, this approach does not furnish the true stochastic dynamics of the quantum mechanical system, but only an averaged one. We then present a new derivation of the Schrödinger equation based on Langevin equations that present all features of a true stochastic system. These two approaches then improve our understanding of Quantum Mechanics to encompass stochastic behavior.
