The motion of a quantum particle hopping on a simple cubic lattice under the influence of thermal noise and of a static random potential is expected to be diffusive, i.e., the particle is expected to exhibit `quantum Brownian motion', no…
We propose new equations of motion under the theory of the Brownian motion to connect the states of quantum, diffusion, soliton, and periodic localization. The new equations are nothing but the classical equations of motion with two…
