DIFFUSION MOTIONS AND QUANTIZATION OF MECHANICAL SYSTEMS

Stochastic mechanics has gradually drawn much attention in the area of physics and mechanics since it was established by Nelson in 1966. In stochastic mechanics, quantum fluctuational phenomena are described in terms of diffusion processes instead of wave functions. The importance of stochastic mechanics can be shown from the fact that stochastic mechanics and orthodox quantum mechanics make the same predictions for the same position measurements. Since all measurements ultimately consist of position on...
