• Abstract: In two prior papers of this series, it was proposed that a wavefunction model of a heavy particle and a collection of light particles might generate ``Brownian-Motion-Like" trajectories as well as diffusive motion (displacement proportional to the square-root of time) of the heavy particle, but did not exhibit a concrete instance. Here we introduce a one-space-dimensional model which, granted a finite perturbation series, fulfills the criteria for BML trajectories and diffusion. We note that Planck's constant and the molecular mass of light particles make an appearance in the diffusion coefficient, which further differentiates the present theory from the work of Poincar{\'e} and Einstein in the previous century.

  We have formulated a generalized two level model for studying the pair production in multidimensional time-dependent electric fields. It can provide momentum spectra with fully spin resolved components for all possible combined spin states of the particle and anti-particle simultaneously. It is believed that by this two level model one can extend researches on pair production for more different background fields.

  We examine whether Brownian particles can manifest a particle-wave duality without employing a priori arguments from quantum decoherence. Our one-dimensional calculations show that for this to happen, the trapping needs to be very strong so that a Brownian nanoparticles needs to be embedded in an extremely stiff solid.

Remarkably, the action models the effects of general relativity on the motion of nonrelativistic particles, with the values of the emergent curvature and speed of light determined by the field spatial distribution and frequency.

  We argue that the axionlike self-interaction of ultralight bosons ensures the existence of rarefied and dense phases in the DM halo core of (dwarf) galaxies. To produce a two-particle composite with low positive energy and a finite lifetime, we appeal to the resonant transition of oneally free particle of a pair from an open channel to the closed channel. Using the Feshbach resonance concept, the problem of two-channel quantum mechanics is solved in the presence of a small external influence.

• Can Schrodingerist Wavefunction Physics Explain Brownian Motion? II. The Diffusion Coefficient [0.0]
  In the first paper of this series, I investigated whether a wavefunction model of a heavy particle and a collection of light particles might generate "Brownian-Motion-Like" trajectories. I concluded that it was possible, but left unsettled the second claim in Einstein's classical program: diffusive motion. In this paper, I derive a criterion for diffusive motion, as well as an expression for the diffusion coefficient.
