Real-space diffusion theory from quantum mechanics using analytic continuation
We show that a physical correspondence between Brownian motion and quantum mechanics can be established by formal analytic continuation if Wick rotation (t→it) is replaced by the mirror symmetric, complex conjugate time transformation t→±it. Invariance of the square modulus of the wave function unde...
