We formulate a new quantum equivalence principle by which a path integral for a particle in a general metric-affine space is obtained from that in a flat space by a non-holonomic coordinate transformation. The new path integral is free of…

The standard way to construct a path integral is to use a Legendre transformation to find the hamiltonian, to repeatedly insert complete sets of states into the time-evolution operator, and then to integrate over the momenta. This procedure…

Inspired by a recent work that proposes using coherent states to evaluate the Feynman kernel in noncommutative space, we provide an independent formulation of the path-integral approach for quantum mechanics on the Moyal plane, with the…

We study propagation of phase space singularities for a Schr\"odinger equation with a Hamiltonian that is the Weyl quantization of a quadratic form with non-negative real part. Phase space singularities are measured by the lack of…

Path integrals constitute powerful representations for both quantum and stochastic dynamics. Yet despite many decades of intensive studies, there is no consensus on how to formulate them for dynamics in curved space, or how to make them…

In this paper we introduce a new procedure on precise analysis of various physical manifestations in superconducting Qubits using the concept of Feynman path integral in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. Three specific problem are…

The action for a relativistic free particle of mass m receives a contribution $-m R(x,y)$ from a path of length R(x,y) connecting the events $x^i$ and $y^i$. Using this action in a path integral, one can obtain the Feynman propagator for a…

We explore a new approach to the path integral for a latticized quantum theory. This talk is based on work with N. Khuri and H. Ren.

The proposal made 50 years ago by Schulman (1968), Laidlaw & Morette-DeWitt (1971) and Dowker (1972) to decompose the propagator according to the homotopy classes of paths was a major breakthrough: it showed how Feynman functional integrals…

While there does not at this time exist a complete canonical theory of full 3+1 quantum gravity, there does appear to be a satisfactory canonical quantization of minisuperspace models. The method requires no `choice of time variable' and…

Coherent states path integral formalism for the simplest quantum algebras, q-oscillator, SU_q(2) and SU_q(1,1) is introduced. In the classical limit canonical structure is derived with modified symplectic and Riemannian metric. Non-constant…

According to loop quantum gravity, matter fields must be quantized in a background independent manner. For scalar fields, such a background independent quantization is called polymer quantization and is inequivalent to the standard…

Formal structure of phase-space path integrals based on different types of operator orderings is analysed.

L\'{e}vy flights can be described using a Fokker-Planck equation which involves a fractional derivative operator in the position co-ordinate. Such an operator has its natural expression in the Fourier domain. Starting with this, we show…

A construction of covariant quantum phase observables, for Hamiltonians with a finite number of energy eigenvalues, has been recently given by D. Arsenovic et al. [Phys. Rev. A 85, 044103 (2012)]. For Hamiltonians generating periodic…

A quantum state can be written in phase space, but the resulting object is not generally the probability density of a positive stochastic process on ordinary phase space. We spell this out for Wigner dynamics. If a positive phase-space…

The Feynman integral for the Schroedinger propagator is constructed as a generalized function of white noise, for a linear space of potentials spanned by measures and Laplace transforms of measures, i.e., locally singular as well as rapidly…

We describe a general procedure which allows to construct, starting from a given Hamiltonian, the whole family of new ones sharing the same set of unparameterized trajectories in phase space. The symmetry structure of this family can be…

We use separation of variables as a tool to identify and to analyze exactly soluble time-dependent quantum mechanical potentials. By considering the most general possible time-dependent re-definition of the spatial coordinate, as well as…

In this work we present the simplest generic form of the propagator for the time-dependent quadratic Hamiltonian. We manifest the simplicity of our method by giving explicitly the propagators for a free particle in time-dependent electric…
