It is shown that the usual expression for a Feynman diagram in terms of the Feynman propagator $\Delta_F(x-y)$ can be replaced by an equivalent expression involving the positive-energy on-shell propagator $\Delta^+(x-y)$, supplemented by…

It has been argued that the Feynman path integral formalism leads to a quantization rule, and that the Born-Jordan rule is the unique quantization rule consistent with the correct short-time propagator behavior of the propagator for…
The Feynman path integral representation of quantum theory is used in a non--parametric Bayesian approach to determine quantum potentials from measurements on a canonical ensemble. This representation allows to study explicitly the…
We propose to include gravity in quantum field theory non-perturbatively, by modifying the propagators so that each virtual particle in a Feynman graph move in the space-time determined by the four-momenta of the other particles in the same…

Two photons in free space pass each other undisturbed. This is ideal for the faithful transmission of information, but prohibits an interaction between the photons as required for a plethora of applications in optical quantum information…

Quantum computing (QC) architectures utilizing classical or coherent resources with Gaussian transformations are classically simulable as an indicator of the lack of QC power. Simple optical set-ups utilizing wave-particle duality and…
The Feynman path integral does not allow a "one real path" interpretation, because amplitudes contribute to probabilities in a non-separable manner. The opposite extreme, "all paths happen", is not a useful or informative account. In this…
Feynman integrands are constructed as Hida distributions. For our approach we first have to construct solutions to a corresponding Schroedinger equation with time-dependent potential. This is done by a generalization of the Doss approach to…
By removing a fractal from time-rolled Minkowski spacetime, we construct an extendible spacetime without closed timelike curves whose every extension contains closed timelike curves. This settles a question posed by Geroch.

Feynman's path integral approach is studied in the framework of the Wigner-Dunkl deformation of quantum mechanics. We start with reviewing some basics from Dunkl theory and investigate the time evolution of a Gaussian wave packet, which…
