Description:
Starting from Brownian Motion, the lectures quickly got into the areas of Stochastic Differential Equations and Diffusion Theory. An attempt was made to introduce to the students diverse aspects of the theory. The last section on Martingales is based on some additional lectures given by K. Ramamurthy of the Indian Institute of Science.

Lecture Notes on Quantum Brownian Motionby Laszlo Erdos - arXiv
Einstein's kinetic theory of the Brownian motion, based upon water molecules bombarding a heavy pollen, provided an explanation of diffusion from the Newtonian mechanics. It is a challenge to verify the diffusion from the Schroedinger equation.
