Quantum probability calculations using a first-principles quantum Monte Carlo method

A first-principles Monte Carlo code that exactly simulates quantum dynamics is presented which makes no use of amplitude calculations, only noise sources. The subtle question concerning how to map random choices in amplitude interferences is explained. In this formalism negative values of the Wigner function have clear logical meaning.
