We study quantum mechanics in the stochastic formulation, using the functional integral approach. The noise term enters the classical action as a local contribution of anticommuting fields. The partition function is not invariant under…
Quantum electrodynamics under conditions of distinguishability of interacting matter entities, and of controlled actions and back-actions between them, is considered. Such "mesoscopic quantum electrodynamics" is shown to share its dynamical…
The theory of stochastic processes impacts both physical and social sciences. At the molecular scale, stochastic dynamics is ubiquitous because of thermal fluctuations. The Fokker-Plank-Smoluchowski equation models the time evolution of the…
