Quantum particles from coarse grained classical probabilities in phase space
arXiv:1003.3351 · doi:10.1016/j.aop.2010.03.010
Abstract
Quantum particles can be obtained from a classical probability distribution in phase space by a suitable coarse graining, whereby simultaneous classical information about position and momentum can be lost. For a suitable time evolution of the classical probabilities and choice of observables all features of a quantum particle in a potential follow from classical statistics. This includes interference, tunneling and the uncertainty relation.
