We present three methods for calculating the Feynman propagator for the non-relativistic harmonic oscillator. The first method was employed by Schwinger a half a century ago, but has rarely been used in non-relativistic problems since. Also discussed is an algebraic method and a path integral method so that the reader can compare the advantages and disadvantages of each method.

It is shown that the complex phase of the Feynman propagator is a solution of the quantum Hamilton Jacobi equation
A modification of the Fokker action is proposed, which allows one to formulate the covariant quantum theory of the charge system, in which the proper time of each particle serves as the evolution parameter and the particles themselves receive an additional quantum number - spin. The modification consists in adding to the Fokker action its variation generated by the infinitesimal shifts of the proper time parameters. As a result, the proper time parameters become observable at the quantum level.
We show that it is possible to construct the Feynman Propagator in one dimension, without quantization, from a single continuous space-time path.

Topological data analysis is a rapidly developing area of data science where one tries to discover topological patterns in data sets to generate insight and knowledge discovery. In this project we use quantum walk algorithms to discover features of a data graph on which the walk takes place. This can be done faster on quantum computers where all paths can be explored using superposition. We begin with simple walks on a polygon and move up to graphs described by higher dimensional meshes. We use insight from the physics description of quantum walks defined in terms of probability amplitudes to …

In this paper we study the quantum wave packet and the Feynman-de Broglie-Bohm propagator of the linearized Schuch-Chung-Hartmann equation along a classical trajetory.
We investigate the algebraic structure of the Feynman propagator with a general time-dependent quadratic Hamiltonian system. Using the Lie-algebraic technique we obtain a normal-ordered form of the time-evolution operator, and then the propagator is easily derived by a simple ``Integration Within Ordered Product" (IWOP) technique.It is found that this propagator contains a classical generating function which demonstrates a new correspondence between classical and quantum mechanics.

The Feynman propagator used in the conventional in-out formalism in quantum field theory is not a causal propagator as wave packets are propagated virtually instantaneously outside the causal region of the initial state. We formulate a causal in-out formalism in quantum field theory by making use of the Wheeler propagator, the time ordered commutator propagator, which is manifestly causal. Only free scalar field theories and their first quantization are considered. We identify the real Klein Gordon field itself as the wave function of a neutral spinless relativistic particle. Furthermore, we d…
A generalized canonical formulation of the theory of the electromagnetic Fokker interaction for a system of two particles is proposed. The functional integral on the generalized phase space is defined as the initial one in quantum theory. After integration over the momenta, the measure of integration in the generalized configuration space of world particle lines is determined. The problem of dynamic interpretation of the Feynman propagator for a system of particles with independent proper time parameters is discussed. A modification of the propagator is proposed, in which the role of independe…
In this paper, we present a formulation of Schwinger's Method for non relativistic propogators in momentum space. While the aforementioned method has been used heavily in some papers to deduce various non relativistic propogators in position space, we show that a variation of method in momentum space works well. We also show how to extract the Propogator for the concerned case for the harmonic oscillator.
A direct procedure for determining the propagator associated with a quantum mechanical problem was given by the Path Integration Procedure of Feynman. The Green function, which is the Fourier Transform with respect to the time variable of the propagator, can be derived later. In our approach, with the help of a Laplace transform, a direct way to get the energy dependent Green function is presented, and the propagator can be obtained later with an inverse Laplace transform. The method is illustrated through simple one dimensional examples and for time independent potentials, though it can be ge…
For the interacting Feynman propagator $ Δ_{F,int}(x,y) $ of scalar electrodynamics, we show that the sign property, $ \operatorname{Re} iΔ_{F,int} \geq 0 $, hinges on the reversibility of time evolution. In contrast, $ \operatorname{Im} iΔ_{F,int} $ is indeterminate. When we switch to reduced dynamics under the weak coupling approximation, the positive semidefinite sign of $ \operatorname{Re} iΔ_{F,int} $ is generally lost, unless we impose severe restrictions on the Kraus operators that govern time evolution. With another approximation, the rotating wave approximation, we may recover the sig…
In order to popularize the so called Schwinger's method we reconsider the Feynman propagator of two non-relativistic systems: a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field and a charged harmonic oscillator in a uniform magnetic field. Instead of solving the Heisenberg equations for the position and the canonical momentum operators, ${\bf R}$ and ${\bf P}$, we apply this method by solving the Heisenberg equations for the gauge invariant operators ${\bf R}$ and $\mathversion{bold}$π$ = {\bf P}-e{\bf A}$, the latter being the mechanical momentum operator. In our procedure we avoid fixing the gau…
Feynman path integrals provide an elegant, classically inspired representation for the quantum propagator and the quantum dynamics, through summing over a huge manifold of all possible paths. From computational and simulational perspectives, the ergodic tracking of the whole path manifold is a hard problem. Machine learning can help, in an efficient manner, to identify the relevant subspace and the intrinsic structure residing at a small fraction of the vast path manifold. In this work, we propose the Feynman path generator for quantum mechanical systems, which efficiently generates Feynman pa…

Recently quantum walks have been considered as a possible fundamental description of the dynamics of relativistic quantum fields. Within this scenario we derive the analytical solution of the Weyl walk in 2+1 dimensions. We present a discrete path-integral formulation of the Feynman propagator based on the binary encoding of paths on the lattice. The derivation exploits a special feature of the Weyl walk, that occurs also in other dimensions, that is closure under multiplication of the set of the walk transition matrices. This result opens the perspective of a similar solution in the 3+1 case.
In the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the phase factor Exp[iS(x[t])] is associated with every path x[t]. Summing this factor over all paths yields Feynman's propagator as a sum-over-paths. In the original formulation, the complex phase was a mathematical device invoked to extract wave behaviour in a particle framework. In this paper we show that the phase itself can have a physical origin in time reversal, and that the propagator can be drawn by a single deterministic path.
In this paper we solve exactly the problem of the spectrum and Feynman propagator of a charged particle submitted to both an anharmonic oscillator in the plane and a constant and homogeneous magnetic field of arbitrary strength aligned with the perpendicular direction to the plane. As we shall see in the beginning of the letter the Hamiltonian, being a quadratic form, is easily diagonalizable and the Classical Action can be used to construct the exact Feynman Propagator using the Stationary Phase Approximation. The result is useful for the treatment of quasi two dimensional samples in the fiel…
One of Feynman's greatest contributions to physics was the interpretation of negative energies as antimatter in quantum field theory. A key component of this interpretation is the Feynman propagator, which seeks to describe the behavior of antimatter at the virtual particle level. Ironically, it turns out that one can dispense with the Feynman propagator in a direct-action theory of fields, while still retaining the interpretation of negative energy solutions as antiparticles.
Trying to interpret B. Zilber's project on model theory of quantum mechanics we study a way of building limit models from finite-dimensional approximations. Our point of view is that of metric model theory, and we develop a method of taking ultraproducts of unbounded operators. We first calculate the Feynman propagator for the free particle as defined by physicists as an inner product $\langle x_{0}| K^{t}| x_{1}\rangle $ of the eigenvector $| x_{0}\rangle $ of the position operator with eigenvalue $x_{0}$ and $K^{t}(| x_{1}\rangle )$, where $K^{t}$ is the time evolution operator. However, due…
The Dirac delta function and the Feynman propagator of the harmonic oscillator are found by a simple calculation using Fock Bargmann space and the generating function of the harmonic oscillator. With help of the Schwinger generating function of Wigner's D-matrix elements we derive the generating function of spherical harmonics, the quadratic transformations and the generating functions of: the characters of SU (2), Legendre and Gegenbauer polynomials. We also deduce the van der Wearden invariant of 3-j symbols of SU (2). Using the Fock Bargmann space and its complex conjugate we find the integ…
As an alternative but unified and more fundamental description for quantum physics, Feynman path integrals generalize the classical action principle to a probabilistic perspective, under which the physical observables' estimation translates into a weighted sum over all possible paths. The underlying difficulty is to tackle the whole path manifold from finite samples that can effectively represent the Feynman propagator dictated probability distribution. Modern generative models in machine learning can handle learning and representing probability distribution with high computational efficiency.…
Using the Raychaudhuri equation, we show that a quantum probability amplitude (Feynman propagator) can be univocally associated to any timelike or null affinely parametrized geodesic congruence.
In the Feynman formalism of quantum mechanics one encounters a postulate, namely, that the propagator in an infinitesimal time-interval is the classical wave function. This postulate, which was later studied thoroughly by Holland, was recently highlighted by using the improved Makri-Miller propagator. The present note, whose conclusion is in agreement with that recent achievement, demonstrates that the Heisenberg picture of quantum mechanics invariably includes the Feynman postulate and is able to yield a proof for it. In other words, by starting out from the Heisenberg picture, it is proved t…
In this work we solve exactly a class of three-body propagators for the most general quadratic interactions in the coordinates, for arbitrary masses and couplings. This is done both for the constant as the time-dependent couplings and masses, by using the Feynman path integral formalism. Finally the energy spectrum and the eigenfunctions are recovered from the propagators.

We outline a new approach to calculating the quantum mechanical propagator in the presence of geometrically non-trivial Dirichlet boundary conditions based upon a generalisation of an integral transform of the propagator studied in previous work (the so-called ``hit function''), and a convergent sequence of Padé approximants. In this paper the generalised hit function is defined as a many-point propagator and we describe its relation to the sum over trajectories in the Feynman path integral. We then show how it can be used to calculate the Feynman propagator. We calculate analytically all such…
Starting from Feynman's Lagrangian description of quantum mechanics, we propose a method to construct explicitly the propagator for the Wigner distribution function of a single system. For general quadratic Lagrangians, only the classical phase space trajectory is found to contribute to the propagator. Inspired by Feynman's and Vernon's influence functional theory we extend the method to calculate the propagator for the reduced Wigner function of a system of interest coupled to an external system. Explicit expressions are obtained when the external system consists of a set of independent harmo…

The Dirac's formalism for constrained systems is applied to the analysis of time-dependent Hamiltonians in the extended phase space. We show that the Lewis invariant is a reparametrization invariant and we calculate the Feynman propagator using the extended phase description. We show that the quantum phase of the Feynman propagator is given by the boundary term of the canonical transformation of the extended phase space.
