In the original article, there was an error. In section 2.1 the diffusion matrix D the in-line equation was defined with a factor of 2 instead of 1/2, i.e., D = 2σσT instead of D = σσT/2.

In section 2.1 in the paragraph following Equation (4), a copy-paste error occurred in the sentence “… where for reversible system (i.e., those obeying detailed balance) we have .”

In section 2.2. in the paragraph following Equation (13) there is an obvious redundant additional factor present immediately after the in-line equation: .

A correction has been made to section 2.1 [paragraph following Equation (1)]. The paragraph now reads:

“where D is the symmetric positive-definite diffusion matrix. propagates probability measures μt(x) in time, which will throughout be assumed to posses well-behaved probability density functions P(x, t), i.e., t(x) = P(x, t)dx [thereby posing some restrictions on F(x)]. On the level of individual trajectories Equation (1) corresponds to the It equation dxt = F(xt)dt+σdWt with Wt being a d-dimensional vector of independent Wiener processes whose increments have a Gaussian distribution with zero mean and variance dt, i.e., , and where σ is a d×d symmetric noise matrix such that D = σσT/2. Moreover, we assume that F(x) admits the following decomposition into a potential (irrotational) field −D∇φ(x) and a non-conservative component ϑ(x), F(x) = −D∇φ(x)+ϑ(x) with the two fields being mutually orthogonal ∇φ(xϑ(x) = 0 [73]. By insertion into Equation (1) one can now easily check that , such that the stationary solution of the Fokker-Planck equation (also referred to as the steady state [74, 75], which is the terminology we adopt here) by construction does not depend on the non-conservative part ϑ(x).”

A correction has been made to the aforementioned sentence in section 2.1, in the paragraph following Equation (4), which now reads:

“such that the conditional probability density starting from a general initial condition |p0〉 becomes P(x, t|p0, 0) = 〈x|Û(t)|p0〉 ≡ ∫dx0p0(x0)G(x, t|x0, 0). Moreover, as F(x) is assumed to be sufficiently confining (i.e., sufficiently fast), such that corresponds to a coercive and densely defined operator on V (and on W, respectively) [76–78]. Finally, is throughout assumed to be normal, i.e., and thus henceforth V = W, where for reversible system (i.e., those obeying detailed balance) we have ”.

Finally, the redundant factor has been deleted in section 2.2 in the paragraph following Equation (13).

“can be equal to Qpss(q, t|q0, 0). As this will generally not be the case this essentially means that the projected dynamics is in general non-Markovian. The proof is established by noticing that such that .”

The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
