Path Integral Formulation of Noncommutative Quantum Mechanics
We propose a phase-space path integral formulation of noncommutative quantum mechanics, and prove its equivalence to the operatorial formulation. As an illustration, the partition function of a noncommutative two-dimensional harmonic oscillator is calculated. Noncommutative quantum mechanics represents a natural extension of usual quantum mechanics, in which one allows nonvanishing commutators ...
متن کاملInitial Value Problems in Quantum Field Theory and the Feynman Path Integral Representation of Schwinger’s Closed Time Path Formalism
Schwinger’s Closed-Time Path (CTP) formalism is an elegant way to insure causality for initial value problems in Quantum Field Theory. Feynman’s Path Integral on the other hand is much more amenable than Schwinger’s differential approach (related to the Schwinger Dyson equations) for non-perturbative (in coupling constant) expansions such as the large-N expansion. By marrying the CTP formalism ...
متن کاملGeneralized path integral based quantum transition state theory
A theory for calculating rates of transitions in quantum systems is presented and applied to desorption of H from a 2 Ž . Cu 110 surface. The quantum transition state is defined as a conical dividing surface in the space of closed Feynman paths and a ‘reaction coordinate’ in this extended space is used to parametrize a reversible work evaluation of the free energy barrier. In a low temperature,...
متن کاملCoherent states formulation of polymer field theory.
We introduce a stable and efficient complex Langevin (CL) scheme to enable the first direct numerical simulations of the coherent-states (CS) formulation of polymer field theory. In contrast with Edwards' well-known auxiliary-field (AF) framework, the CS formulation does not contain an embedded nonlinear, non-local, implicit functional of the auxiliary fields, and the action of the field theory...
متن کاملQuantum state of wormholes and path integral.
The quantum state of a wormhole can be represented by a path integral over all asymptotically Euclidean four-geometries and all matter fields which have prescribed values, the arguments of the wave function, on a three-surface S which divides the spacetime manifold into two disconnected parts. The ground-state wave function is picked out by requiring that there be no matter excitations in the a...
