We study the evolution of a quantum particle interacting with a random potential in the low density limit (Boltzmann-Grad). The phase space density of the quantum evolution defined through the Husimi function converges weakly to a linear…

In this paper we create a model of particle motion on a three-dimensional lattice using discrete random walk with small steps. We rigorously construct a probability space of the particle trajectories. Unlike deterministic approach in…

The existence of probability in the sense of the frequency interpretation, i.e. probability as "long term relative frequency," is shown to follow from the dynamics and the interpretational rules of Everett quantum mechanics in the…

We introduce principal curves in Wasserstein space, and in general compact metric spaces. Our motivation for the Wasserstein case comes from optimal-transport-based trajectory inference, where a developing population of cells traces out a…

A nonlinear wave mechanical equation is proposed by inserting an imaginary quantum potential into the Schr\"{o}dinger equation. An explicit expression for its solution is given under certain assumptions and it is shown that it entails…

We elaborate on the proposed general boundary formulation as an extension of standard quantum mechanics to arbitrary (or no) backgrounds. Temporal transition amplitudes are generalized to amplitudes for arbitrary spacetime regions. State…

We outline an efficient method for the reconstruction of a probability density function from the knowledge of its infinite sequence of ordinary moments. The approximate density is obtained resorting to maximum entropy technique, under the…

We present an analytic method, based on the Bohmian equations for quantum mechanics, for approaching the phase-retrieval problem in the following formulation: By knowing the probability density $\left\vert…

Suppose that a $d$-dimensional domain is filled with a gas of (in general, interacting) diffusive particles with density $n_0$. A particle is absorbed whenever it reaches the domain boundary. Employing macroscopic fluctuation theory, we…

The correspondence principle states that the quantum system will approach to the classical system in high quantum numbers. Indeed, the average of the probability density distribution reflects a classical-like distribution. However, the…

In quantum physics, the density operator completely describes the state. Instead, in classical physics the mean value of every physical quantity is evaluated by means of a probability distribution. We study the possibility to describe pure…
