Quantam Mechanics and Path Integrals - Richard P. Feynman

Quantum Mechanics and Path Integrals by Richard P. Feynman and A. R. Hibbs brings together Feynman’s perspective on the development and use of path integrals. This paperback edition presents an approach that begins with an intuitive grounding in quantum mechanics before building towards the path-integral method.

Synopsis

Developed by Nobel Prize–winning physicist Richard Feynman, the path-integral method is introduced here with clarity and purpose, starting from an intuitive view of fundamental quantum mechanics and progressing step by step towards the full formalism. As the discussion deepens, the book moves into more advanced territory, including the perturbation method, quantum electrodynamics and statistical mechanics.

First issued in 1965 and later emended in 2005, it is positioned within the science, mathematics and engineering sphere for readers looking to engage with the method and its applications.
