Stochastic simulation of fermions

The Schrodinger equation for bosons or for distinguishable particles can be formally transformed into a Fokker-Planck equation. The stationary time dependent correlation functions of the corresponding stochastic process (Langevin equation) coincide with the imaginary time quantum correlation functions. This relation can be used, e.g., to obtain information on the lower-lying spectrum by numerical simulation. In this note we discuss the extension of these ideas for the treatment of fermions in one dimension, and some of the problems that appear in higher dimensions.
