Importance sampling, Fokker-Planck and Langevin equations

We can then use the Fourier-transformed diffusion equation

\frac{\partial \tilde{w}(\mathbf{k},t)}{\partial t} = -D\mathbf{k}^2\tilde{w}(\mathbf{k},t),

with the obvious solution

\tilde{w}(\mathbf{k},t)=\tilde{w}(\mathbf{k},0)\exp{\left[-(D\mathbf{k}^2t)\right)}= \frac{1}{2\pi}\exp{\left[-(D\mathbf{k}^2t)\right]}.
