The Feynman Path Integral: An Historical Slice

preprint2003arXivOpen access

Abstract

Efforts to give an improved mathematical meaning to Feynman's path integral formulation of quantum mechanics started soon after its introduction and continue to this day. In the present paper, one common thread of development is followed over many years, with contributions made by various authors. The present version of this line of development involves a continuous-time regularization for a general phase space path integral and provides, in the author's opinion at least, perhaps the optimal formulation of the path integral.
