Exercises in simplest dynamical random walk, or Quantum path integral approach to true diffusion law and 1/f noise of classical particle interacting with ideal gas

Abstract

Statistics of classical Hamiltonian random walk of particle colliding with atoms of ideal gas is considered from viewpoint of earlier suggested exact pseudo-quantum path integral representation of the problem, and qualitative agreement is demostrated between results of an naturally arising simple approximation of this integral and results obtained by formally different methods, thus in a new fashion showing inevitability of scaleless 1/f-type fluctuations in rates of molecular Brownian motions and other dynamical transport and evolution processes.
