We introduce two new integral transforms of the quantum mechanical transition kernel that represent physical information about the path integral. These transforms can be interpreted as probability distributions on particle trajectories…
We propose path integral description for quantum mechanical systems on compact graphs consisting of N segments of the same length. Provided the bulk Hamiltonian is segment-independent, scale-invariant boundary conditions given by…
The path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, i.e., the idea that the evolution of a quantum system is determined as a sum over all the possible trajectories that would take the system from the initial to its final state of its…
A geometric framework for describing quantum particles on a possibly curved background is proposed. Natural constructions on certain distributional bundles (`quantum bundles') over the spacetime manifold yield a quantum ``formalism'' along…
We elucidate physical aspects of path signatures by formulating randomised path developments within the framework of matrix models in quantum field theory. Using tools from physics, we introduce a new family of randomised path developments…
Ambiguities arising in different approaches (canonical, quasiclassical, path integration) to quantization are discussed by an example of the mechanics of a point-like particle in the Riemannian space (the geodesic dynamics). A way to select…
In quantum field theory the path integral is usually formulated in the wave picture, i.e., as a sum over field evolutions. This path integral is difficult to define rigorously because of analytic problems whose resolution may ultimately…
I assume a universe whereby the speed of light and the planck constant are not constants but instead parameters that vary locally in time-and space. When describing motion, I am able to derive a modified path integral description at the…
We frame the issue of pedestrian dynamics modeling in terms of path-integrals, a formalism originally introduced in quantum mechanics to account for the behavior of quantum particles, later extended to quantum field theories and to…
Quantum tunneling in a many-body system is much more non-trivial than that in a one-body system. The most characteristic phenomenon is the mixed tunneling, which has been studied in many fields for decades. For instance, let us consider a…

A selfconsistent definition of quantum free particle on a generic curved manifold emerges naturally by restricting the dynamics to submanifolds of co-dimension one. PACS 0365 0240
Different approaches are compared to formulation of quantum mechanics of a particle on the curved spaces. At first, the canonical, quasi-classical and path integration formalisms are considered for quantization of geodesic motion on the…
We suggest a closed form expression for the path integral of quantum transition amplitudes. We introduce a quantum action with renormalized parameters. We present numerical results for the $V \sim x^{4}$ potential. The renormalized action…
We developed a path integral formalism for the quantum mechanics in a rotating reference of frame, and proposed a spin path integral description for the spin degrees of freedom in it. We have also give some examples for the applications of…
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…
We consider an ``integral'' extension of the classical notion of affine connection providing a correspondence between paths in the manifold and diffeomorphisms of the manifold. These path-diffeomorphisms are a generalization of parallel…
A general definition of the curves and geodesics associated with a given connection on a quantized manifold is given. In the particular case of the functional quantization we define geodesics in the same way as in the classical case and we…
We develop a mathematically well-defined path integral formalism for general symplectic manifolds. We argue that in order to make a path integral quantization covariant under general coordinate transformations on the phase space and involve…
A new version of hidden variables theory founded on the generalisation of world's geometry is proposed. The quantum-mechanical motion as the motion in some "inner space", which has a structure of the integrable Weyl space is examined.…
