✦ Synopsis

Within the framework of stochastic quantization, quantum mechanical trajectory of a particle is computed numerically. The fundamental kinematic equation is a stochastic differential equation which can be intergrated numerically by means of pseudo random numbers. Three typical examples in quantum mechanics, the superposition, the classical limit, and the two-slit interference, are considered in detail. The computer output of the numerical analysis of these examples is shown in a grapic display. Several samples of the quantum mechanical trajectories are illustrated there from which intuitive meaning of quantum phenomena appearing in the examples can be seen easily. 0 1985 Academic PESS Inc.
