Quantum techniques in stochastic mechanics

John C. Baez (Author), Jacob D. Biamonte (Author)
"We introduce the theory of chemical reaction networks and their relation to stochastic Petri nets -- important ways of modeling population biology and many other fields. We explain how techniques from quantum mechanics can be used to study these models. This relies on a profound and still mysterious analogy between quantum theory and probability theory, which we explore in detail. We also give a tour of key results concerning chemical reaction networks and Petri nets."-- Publisher's website
