what is stochastic walk ???

Question

ghazi · Answer

if you are talking about quantum stochastic walk then it is set of equations that  determines the evolution of a generalized quantum-mechanical walk on a graph that obeys a quantum stochastic equation of motion. Using an axiomatic approach, we specify the rules for all possible quantum, classical, and quantum-stochastic transitions from a vertex as defined by its connectivity. it also includes probability.

i am not much know about this but in general you might have heard of stochastic calculus that determines the expansion of something based on probability.  Currently, expansion of human population is on the mathematicians mind , they are trying hard to express it by stochastic calculus.

how quantum came in to action that is derived by stochastic equations, in general you can say that

Stochastic process has a more general meaning and or application..  It is sometimes referred to as a random walk process. In such a process the entities participating in the process change their position for example in a unpredictable ie random manner. These entities could be animals, molecules, colloidal particles. anything in which there is a substantial randomness of movement.. The study of stochastic phenomena occurs in thermodynamics and transport phenomena as diffusion.
