Abstract

The nontrivial transformation of the phase space path integral measure under certain discretized analogues of canonical transformations is computed. This Jacobian is used to derive a quantum analogue of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation for the generating function of a canonical transformation that maps any quantum system to a system with a vanishing Hamiltonian. A formal perturbative solution of the quantum Hamilton-Jacobi equation is given.
