Abstract
The authors prove that, for the general dynamics of a quantum spin, there exists a stochastic process in an extended phase space which at each time allows them to compute correlations between the different components of the spin. The scheme is limited to integer spins, but some possibilities of extension are discussed as well as the connection with Nelson's stochastic dynamics (1985).Keywords
