The Schr\"{o}dinger equation has the property that when changing the length scale by $\vec{r} \to \epsilon \vec{r}$ and the energy scale by $E \to E / \epsilon^2$, the shape of the wavefunction remains unchanged. The same re-scaling leaves…

Stochastic field theories are often constructed phenomenologically, without a systematic assessment of thermodynamic consistency or local detailed balance. This may hinder a physical description of irreversibility at the field-theoretic…
