A new theory bridging non-relativistic and QED-based path integrals unveils more than quantum mechanics
Wen, W.
The Feynman path integral plays a crucial role in quantum mechanics, offering significant insights into the interaction between classical action and propagators, and linking quantum electrodynamics (QED) with Feynman diagrams. However, the formulations of path integrals in classical quantum mechanics and QED are neither unified nor interconnected, suggesting the potential existence of an important bridging theory that could be key to solving existing puzzles in quantum mechanics. In this work, we delve into the theoretical consistency, completeness, and integration with established path integral theories, revealing this concealed path integral form. This newly uncovered form not only connects various path integral approaches but also demonstrates its potential in explaining quantum phenomena like the origin of spin and quantum nonlocal correlations. It transcends conventional quantum mechanics, proposing a more profound and fundamental physical principle.
