Abstract :
It is argued that rigorous trajectory formulations of quantum transport phenomena are feasible and that trajectory based simulation methods corresponding to ensemble Monte Carlo methods or hydrodynamic modelling are possible provided the unavoidable accompanying pilot fields are included within the formalism.
