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.

  1. Quantum observables for probabilistic classical particles

    quant-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Solutions of the Liouville equation can be rewritten as a Schrödinger equation whose observables are non-commuting 'quantum' operators, reproducing the harmonic oscillator and hydrogen atom spectra as special subsystems.

  2. Quantum mechanics for classical transport equations

    quant-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Classical probabilistic transport equations are reformulated as quantum systems whose wave function obeys Schrödinger evolution and whose observables include non-commuting operators for statistical quantities.

  3. Quantum field theory for classical fields

    quant-ph 2026-03 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A classical Klein-Gordon field with random initial conditions, described through specially defined fluctuating observables, obeys the functional-integral rules of a quantum field theory.
