Biomolecular folding, at least in simple systems, can be described as a two state transition in a free energy landscape with two deep wells separated by a high barrier. Transition paths are the short part of the trajectories that cross the…
Non commutative quantum mechanics can be viewed as a quantum system represented in the space of Hilbert-Schmidt operators acting on non commutative configuration space. Taking this as departure point, we formulate a coherent state approach…
We have recently studied a simplified version of the path integral for a particle on a sphere, and more generally on maximally symmetric spaces, and proved that Riemann normal coordinates allow the use of a quadratic kinetic term in the…
Discrete-time quantum walk in one-dimension is studied from a path-integral perspective. This enables derivation of a closed-form expression for amplitudes corresponding to any coin-position basis of the state vector of the quantum walker…
Recently a path integral formalism has been proposed by the author which gives the time evolution of moments of slow variables in a Hamiltonian statistical system. This closure relies on evaluating the informational discrepancy of a time…
Although the path-integral formalism is known to be equivalent to conventional quantum mechanics, it is not generally obvious how to implement path-based calculations for multi-qubit entangled states. Whether one takes the formal view of…
This paper reviews and generalizes Feynman's path integration methods which use time slicing with straight line segments and Fourier sine series. The generalizations are done from variational calculus considerations and in one dimension for…
The theme of doing quantum mechanics on all abelian groups goes back to Schwinger and Weyl. If the group is a vector space of finite dimension over a non-archimedean locally compact division ring, it is of interest to examine the structure…
Feynman's path integral formulation arose from his attempt to incorporate the Lagrangian framework into quantum mechanics, offering what he regarded as a more fundamental perspective than the Hamiltonian approach, particularly in the…
We construct a space of ideal elements (particles and their paths) to analyze certain aspects of quantum physics. The particles are taken from a model of particle interaction first described by David Deutsch (based on a different but…
We write a space-time Feynman path integral representation for scattered elastic wave fields from a weakly compact supported anisotropic non-homogeneity.Replacement by a new version where We (I!) propose a new tomographic inversion…
Many important transport phenomena are described by simple mathematical models rooted in the diffusion equation. Geometrical constraints present in such phenomena often have influence of a universal sort and manifest themselves in scaling…
Feynman's laws of quantum dynamics are concisely stated, discussed in comparison with other formulations of quantum mechanics and applied to selected problems in the physical optics of photons and massive particles as well as flavour…
We propose an idea of the constrained Feynman amplitude for the scattering of the charged lepton and the virtual W-boson, $l_{\beta} + W_{\rho} \rightarrow l_{\alpha} + W_{\lambda}$, from which the conventional Pontecorvo oscillation…
We consider Feynman's path integral approach to quantum mechanics with a noncommutativity in position and momentum sectors of the phase space. We show that a quantum-mechanical system with this kind of noncommutativity is equivalent to the…
In 1965, Feynman wrote of using a lattice containing one dimension of space and one dimension of time to derive aspects of quantum mechanics. Instead of summing the behavior of all possible paths as he did, this paper will consider the…
We argue that the Path Integral formulation of Feynman can be reconciled via a Planck scale underpinning for spacetime, with fuzzy spacetime considerations.
A method is presented which restricts the space of paths entering the path integral of quantum mechanics to subspaces of $C^\alpha$, by only allowing paths which possess at least $\alpha$ derivatives. The method introduces two external…
We propose a Fresnel stochastic white noise framework to analyze the nature of the Feynman paths entering on the Feynman path integral expression for the Feynman propagator of aparticle quantum mechanically moving under an external…
Adapting ideas of Daubechies and Klauder we derive a continuum path-integral formula for the time evolution generated by a spin Hamiltonian. For this purpose we identify the finite-dimensional spin Hilbert space with the ground-state…
