Abstract
The definition and some general properties of the generalized Weyl correspondence between stochastic processes and operator-valued real functions on a Hilbert space plus a trace class operator are given. The relation between the derivatives of an operator-valued function and the derivative of the corresponding stochastic process are studied. When the operator-valued function is the position (or momentum) in the Heisenberg picture, a condition for the positivity of the joint distribution functions of the corresponding process is given, provided that the evolution Hamiltonian be quadratic in the position and momentum. Finally, the case of an arbitrary Hamiltonian evolution for the position operator is studied and the two-dimensional density functions of the process is related to the Wigner function associated to some state ρ̂, and a necessary condition for the positivity of the densities is given.
