Five eight-step random walks from a central point. Some paths appear shorter than eight steps where the route has doubled back on itself. (animated version)In mathematics, a random walk, sometimes known as a drunkard's walk, is a stochastic process that describes a path that consists of a succession of random steps on some mathematical space.
Quantum walks are quantum analogs of classical random walks.In contrast to the classical random walk, where the walker occupies definite states and the randomness arises due to stochastic transitions between states, in quantum walks randomness arises through (1) quantum superposition of states, (2) non-random, reversible unitary evolution and (3) collapse of the wave function due to state ...
The Drunkard's Walk discusses the role of randomness in everyday events, and the cognitive biases that lead people to misinterpret random events and stochastic processes. The title refers to a certain type of random walk, a mathematical process in which one or more variables change value under a series of random steps.
For random walks in -dimensional integer lattices, George Pólya published, in 1919 and 1921, work where he studied the probability of a symmetric random walk returning to a previous position in the lattice. Pólya showed that a symmetric random walk, which has an equal probability to advance in any direction in the lattice, will return to a ...

A loop-erased random walk in 2D for steps. In mathematics, loop-erased random walk is a model for a random simple path with important applications in combinatorics, physics and quantum field theory. It is intimately connected to the uniform spanning tree, a model for a random tree.
Here’s what experts have to say about how much you should actually walk per day for maximum benefits. The 10,000 steps per day rule isn’t based in science. Here’s what experts have to say ...
Stochastic process with random increments from a standard normal distribution. The seven states of randomness in probability theory , fractals and risk analysis are extensions of the concept of randomness as modeled by the normal distribution .
