Probing quantum effects with classical stochastic analogs

We propose a method to construct a classical analog of an open quantum system, namely, a single quantum particle confined in a potential well and immersed in a thermal bath. The classical analog is made out of a collection of identical wells where classical particles of mass m are trapped. The distr...
