Unique Hamiltonian Operators via Feynman Path Integrals

Edward H. Kerner, William G. Sutcliffe

The old problem of how to represent uniquely a prescribed classical Hamiltonian H as a well-defined quantal operator Ĥ is shown to have a clear answer within Feynman's path-integral scheme (as expanded by Garrod) for quantum mechanics. The computation of Ĥ involves the momentum Fourier transform of a coordinate average of H. A differential equation for a reduced form of the Feynman propagator giving Ĥ from H is found; and the example of polynomial H worked out to give the Born-Jordan ordering rule for Ĥ in this case.

Path integrals in quantum mechanics

Масуд Чайчиан, A Demichev

The aim of this chapter is to expand the concept of the path integral to quantum mechanics. The Wiener path integral which we considered in chapter 1 and the Feynman path integral in quantum mechanics have many common features. We essentially use this similarity in the first section of the present chapter reducing, in fact, some quantum-mechanical problems to consideration of the Bloch equation and the corresponding Wiener path integral.

Feynman's Path Integrals and Henstock's Non-Absolute Integration

Patrick Muldowney

R. Feynman formulated quantum mechanics in terms of integrals over spaces of paths (Feynman path integrals). But the absolute value of Feynman's integrand is not integrable. And his integrand does not generate a measure. So Lebesgue integration theory could not be used by Feynman. To establish the equivalence of his theory with the traditional formulation of quantum mechanics, Feynman gave an argument that his path integral satisfies Schrödinger's equation. This paper gives a proof of this part of Feynman's theory. To justify Feynman's and other investigators' use of the language and concepts of integration and probability theory, and to justify taking limits under the integral sign in Feynman's integral, we use R. Henstock's approach to non-absolute integration, which does not require the measure concept, and for which the absolute value of the integrand need not be integrable.
