Quantum mechanics and path integrals
... If we try to pursue this program, then there are some problems one will run into. For example, it is far from clear that different approximation schemes for any given action functional S will result in the same path integral. In fact, there is indeed such an ambiguity in quantum mechanics – a given ...
