Quantum Evolution as the Square Root of the Master Equation

WORLD SCIENTIFIC eBooks, pp. 65–77

Abstract

The analogy between the quantum evolution and that of the master equation is explored. By stressing the stochastic nature of quantum evolution a number of conceptual difficulties in the interpretation of quantum mechanics are avoided.
