Abstract
The one-dimensional quantum harmonic oscillator is considered. The wave solution of the Schrödinger equation determines the model of motion of particles in the $n$-quantum state as orbits of a stationary random walk at the moment of jump from the $n-1$-quantum to the $n$-quantum state. Numerical solutions are given for $n=2,3.$
