Functional integrals and quantum mechanics

Creators

Description

A definition of the functional integral and its use in quantum mechanics is presented. It is proved that the method of functional integration replaces the matrix element calculation of the evolution operator. The method is extended to systems with constraints. In addition, the method enables the quantization of mechanical systems on manifolds. (Auth.)
