Abstract
Stochastic mechanics is an explanation of nonrelativistic quantum phenomena in terms of stochastic differential equations. In this note a simple example of a measurement is constructed and the behavior of the sample paths of the corresponding stochastic differential equation is examined. The sample demonstrates that stochastic mechanics provides a natural explanation of the ’’reduction of the wave packet.’’Keywords
