Diffusion Equation
j(x, t) = The flux of particles.
w(x, t)dx is the probability of finding a given number of particles in an interval of length dx in x [x, x+dx] at a time t. It is the PDF.∈

This means in turn that <x> is independent of time!
This reminds us a random walk in 1D
What about the variance of x?

The Metropolis algorithm and detailed balance
The Best of the 20th Century: Editors Name Top 10 AlgorithmsSIAM News, Volume 33, Number 4By Barry A. Cipra
1946: John von Neumann, Stan Ulam, and Nick Metropolis, all at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, cook up the Metropolisalgorithm, also known as the Monte Carlo method.The Metropolis algorithm aims to obtain approximate solutions to numerical problems with unmanageably many degrees of freedomand to combinatorial problems of factorial size, by mimicking a random process. Given the digital computer’s reputation fordeterministic calculation, it’s fitting that one of its earliest applications was the generation of random numbers.
