In [[theoretical physics]], '''stochastic quantization''' is a method for modelling [[quantum mechanics]], introduced by [[Edward Nelson]] in 1966,<ref>{{Cite journal | last1 = Nelson | first1 = E. | title = Derivation of the Schrödinger Equation from Newtonian Mechanics | doi = 10.1103/PhysRev.150.1079 | journal = Physical Review | volume = 150 | issue = 4 | pages = 10791079–1085 | year = 1966 |bibcode = 1966PhRv..150.1079N }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal | last1 = Fényes | first1 = I. |author-link1= Imre Fényes| doi = 10.1007/BF01338578 |bibcode=1952ZPhy..132...81F| title = Eine wahrscheinlichkeitstheoretische Begründung und Interpretation der Quantenmechanik| journal = Zeitschrift für Physik| volume = 132 | pages = 81–106| year = 1952 | issue = 1 | s2cid = 119581427 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal | last1 = De La Peña-Auerbach | first1 = L. |author-link1=Luis de la Peña| title = A simple derivation of the Schroedinger equation from the theory of Markoff processes | doi = 10.1016/0375-9601(67)90639-1 | journal = Physics Letters A | volume = 24 | issue = 11 | pages = 603–604 | year = 1967 |bibcode = 1967PhLA...24..603D }}</ref> and streamlined by [[Giorgio Parisi|Parisi]] and Yong-Shi Wu.<ref name="Parisi">{{cite journal|last = Parisi|first = G|year = 1981|title = Perturbation theory without gauge fixing|journal = Sci.

==DetailsDescription==

Stochastic quantization serves to quantize [[Euclidean field theory|Euclidean field theories]],<ref name=damgaard>{{cite journal|last=Damgaard |first=Poul|author2=Helmuth Huffel |title=Stochastic Quantization |journal=Physics Reports|year=1987|volume=152|issue=5&6|pages=227–398|url=http://homepage.univie.ac.at/helmuth.hueffel/PhysRep.pdf|access-date=8 March 2013|bibcode = 1987PhR...152..227D |doi = 10.1016/0370-1573(87)90144-X |hdl=1721.1/3101|hdl-access=free}}</ref> and is used for numerical applications, such as [[numerical simulation]]s of [[Gauge theory|gauge theories]] with [[fermion]]s. This serves to address the problem of [[fermion doubling]] that usually occurs in these numerical calculations.
