Abstract

We represent the quantum evolution as a stochastic classical evolution. The deviation of the quantum wave packet from the classical trajectory is expressed by an expectation value of a functional dependent on the Brownian motion. On the basis of this expression we give a qualitative description of the wave packet dynamics.
