Abstract

Stochastic mechanics provides a probabilistic scheme for the description of quantum systems. Grabert, Haaumlnggi, and Talkner, and Nelson have pointed out that its multitime correlations seem to be in disagreement with quantum-mechanical predictions. We show that these difficulties are removed upon a careful analysis of repeated measurements in stochastic mechanics. The wave-packet reduction is naturally described in the stochastic framework, and the predictions for repeated measurements consequently agree in both theories.
