Path Integral Formulation

Path Integral Formulation is a formulation of quantum mechanics that expresses the probability amplitude for a system to evolve between two states as the sum over all possible paths weighted by the exponential of the action functional, distinguished from other formulations by its use of space-time trajectories and functional integration.
