Stability properties of | Ψ| 2 in Bohmian dynamics

According to Bohmian dynamics, the particles of a quantum system move along trajectories, following a velocity field determined by the wavefunction Ψ( x, t). We show that for simple one-dimensional systems any initial probability distribution of a statistical ensemble approaches asymptotically | Ψ(...

Summary:According to Bohmian dynamics, the particles of a quantum system move along trajectories, following a velocity field determined by the wavefunction Ψ( x, t). We show that for simple one-dimensional systems any initial probability distribution of a statistical ensemble approaches asymptotically | Ψ( x, t)| 2 if the system is subject to a random noise of arbitrarily small intensity.
