Abstract
We summarize the results of a program, initiated by E. Schrödinger in 1931, and whose aim is to construct some unconventional diffusion processes associated to the classical Heat equation, in such a way that their properties are as close as possible to the ones of the probabilistic concepts involved in Quantum Mechanics. It is shown, in particular, that Nelson’s stochastic Mechanics can be reinterpreted in this frame.
