A semiclassical approximation is derived by using a family of wavepackets to map arbitrary wavefunctions into phase space. If the Hamiltonian can be approximated as linear over each individual wavepacket, as often done when presenting…
We take up the idea of Nelson's stochastic processes, the aim of which was to deduce Schr\"odinger's equation. We make two major changes here. The first one is to consider deterministic processes which are pseudo-random but which have the…
