Path Integral Approach to Quantum Physics
An Introduction (Texts and Monographs in Physics)
by Gert Roepstorff
The present text is designed to introduce graduate students to the functional integration method in contemporary physics as painlessly as possible. The author concentrates on the conceptual problems inherent in the path integral formalism. The striking interplay between stochastic processes, statistical physics and quantum mechanics comes to the fore. The reader will find all the methods of fundamental interest amply illustrated by important physical examples.

Work Description
Apart from giving a broad introduction to the theory of the random walk and stochastic processes in general, the author emphasizes the close relationship between Brownian motion and the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics due to R. Feynman and M. Kac. Various recent advances in statistical mechanics and quantum field theory are included; they are presented in such a way as to make this a textbook suitable teaching purposes.
This new edition also contains notes, exercises, and an updated list of references which will help the student to acquire a deeper grasp of the subject and to acquaint himself with the current research activity in this field. The greatly enlarged English edition has been completely rewritten by the author; the German original was first published in 1991.
