In their simplest formulations, classical dynamics is the study of Hamiltonian flows and quantum mechanics that of propagators. Both are linked, and emerge from the datum of a single classical concept, the Hamiltonian function. We study and…
We show that the Schr\"odinger equation can be solved exactly based only on classical least action. Fundamental postulates of quantum mechanics can in turn be derived directly from this construction. The results extend to the relativistic…
The derivation of path integrals is reconsidered. It is shown that the expression for the discretized action is not unique, and the path integration domain can be deformed so that at least Gaussian path integrals become probabillistic. This…
