  text: Following on from our recent work, we investigate a stochastic approach to
    non-equilibrium quantum spin systems. We show how the method can be applied to
    a variety of physical observables and for different initial conditions. We provide
    exact formulae of broad applicability for the time-dependence of expectation values
    and correlation functions following a quantum quench in terms of averages over
    classical stochastic processes. We further explore the behavior of the classical
    stochastic variables in the presence of dynamical quantum phase transitions, including
    results for their distributions and correlation functions. We provide details
    on the numerical solution of the associated stochastic differential equations,
    and examine the growth of fluctuations in the classical description. We discuss
    the strengths and limitations of the current implementation of the stochastic
    approach and the potential for further development.
