We here put forward a new path-integral over Hilbert space and show that it reproduces quantum mechanics exactly. This approach works by optimizing the generating functional under a variation of the final state; it is hence an example of a…

We consider the backreaction of a quantum system $q$ on an effectively classical degree of freedom $C$ that is interacting with it. The backreaction equation based on the standard path integral formalism gives the so-called `in-out'…
