We study path integrals in the Trotter-type form for the Schr\"odinger equation, where the Hamiltonian is the Weyl quantization of a real-valued quadratic form perturbed by a potential $V$ in a class encompassing that - considered by…

A new non-perturbative approach to quantum theory in curved spacetime and to quantum gravity, based on a generalisation of the Wigner equation, is proposed. Our definition for a Wigner equation differs from what have otherwise been…

We follow the Feynman procedure to obtain a path integral formulation of loop quantum cosmology starting from the Hilbert space framework. Quantum geometry effects modify the weight associated with each path so that the effective measure on…

Using the quadrature bases that incorporate the spatiotemporal degrees of freedom, we develop a Wigner functional theory for quantum optics, as an extension of the Moyal formalism. Since the spatiotemporal quadrature bases span the complete…

An earlier proposed theory with linear-gonihedhic action for quantum gravity is reviewed. One can consider this theory as a "square root" of classical gravity with a new fundamental constant of dimension one. We demonstrate also, that the…

We show that quantum measures and integrals appear naturally in any $L_2$-Hilbert space $H$. We begin by defining a decoherence operator $D(A,B)$ and it's associated $q$-measure operator $\mu (A)=D(A,A)$ on $H$. We show that these operators…
