One can improve the mean-field approximation by considering one-body degrees of freedom as a system coupled to an environment of other degrees of freedom.

Quantum jump in the weak coupling regime
We assume that the residual interaction can be treated as an ensemble of two-body interaction:

Summary and Critical discussion on the simplified scenario
The stochastic method is directly applicable to nuclei
It provide an easy way to introduce fluctuations beyond mean-field
It does not account for dissipation.
In nuclear physics the two particle-two-hole components dominates the residual interaction, but !!!
