Coherent-state path integrals in the continuum via geometric de-quantization

Quantum Physics 2020-06-25 v1

Abstract

We present a new method for the consistent construction of time-continuous coherent-state path integrals using the theory of half-form quantization. Through the inversion of the quantization procedure we construct a de-quantization map taking first order operators to their corresponding path integrals. We generalize our results using functional techniques, allowing for the consistent path integral study of more general operators, including higher orders and interactions.
