Abstract
•Stochastic dynamics treated with the methods of quantum mechanics.•Metastability and large deviations are closely related topics.•Replicating systems subjected to Darwinian selection ‘compute’ large deviations.
In this note I introduce some techniques to treat systems in contact with (stochastic) thermal baths. The methods and the level of rigour are those of theoretical physics.
