Abstract: The stochastic time approach allows a closed formulation of the decay of an unstable state. Furthermore it yields a simple analytic formulation in regions where the dynamical evolution can be considered as deterministic. We show here, both theoretically and experimentally, that this approximation fails near the unstable starting point and the stable end point
