چکیده
We present the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics and demonstrate its equivalence to the Schrödinger picture. We apply the method to the free particle and quantum harmonic oscillator, investigate the Euclidean path integral, and discuss other applications.

A History of Feynman’s Sum over Histories in Quantum Mechanics
Exact calculations of Feynman’s path integrals (defined on a time lattice) are mainly based on recurrence integral formulas in which the convolution of two functions having a common feature retains the same feature. Therefore, exactly soluble path integrals in quantum mechanics may be classified by their recurrence integral formula used in the calculation. According to this classification, ther...
متن کاملON p-ADIC FUNCTIONAL INTEGRATION
p-Adic generalization of the Feynman path integrals in quantum mechanics is considered. The probability amplitude Kv(x, t′′; x′, t′) (v = ∞, 2, 3, · · · , p, · · ·) for a particle in a constant field is calculated. Path integrals over Qp have the same form as those over R.
متن کاملQuantum Mechanics, Path Integrals and Option Pricing: Reducing the Complexity of Finance
Quantum Finance represents the synthesis of the techniques of quantum theory (quantum mechanics and quantum field theory) to theoretical and applied finance. After a brief overview of the connection between these fields, we illustrate some of the methods of lattice simulations of path integrals for the pricing of options. The ideas are sketched out for simple models, such as the Black-Scholes m...
متن کامل0 p - ADIC PATH INTEGRALS FOR QUADRATIC ACTIONS
The Feynman path integral in p-adic quantum mechanics is considered. The probability amplitude K p (x ′′ , t ′′ ; x ′ , t ′) for one-dimensional systems with quadratic actions is calculated in an exact form, which is the same as that in ordinary quantum mechanics.
متن کاملThe Path Integral Approach to Financial Modeling and Options
Abstract. In this paper we review some applications of the path integral methodology of quantum mechanics to financial modeling and options pricing. A path integral is defined as a limit of the sequence of finite-dimensional integrals, in a much the same way as the Riemannian integral is defined as a limit of the sequence of finite sums. The risk-neutral valuation formula for path-dependent opt...
