Abstract

In recent years, the non-relativistic quantum dynamics derived from three assumptions; i) probability current conservation, ii) average energy conservation, and iii) an epistemic momentum uncertainty [A. Budiyono and D. Rohrlich, \href{https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-017-01375-w}{Nat. Commun 8, 1306 (2017)}]. Here we show that, these assumptions can be derived from a natural extension of classical statistical mechanics.
