Researchers present a closed-form expression for quantum transition amplitudes using a novel quantum action. This new approach is relevant for studying quantum chaos and quantum instantons.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Theoretical physics

Background:

  • Path integrals are fundamental in quantum mechanics for calculating transition amplitudes.
  • Classical action is the standard in path integral formulations.
  • Understanding quantum phenomena requires accurate calculation methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To derive a closed-form expression for the path integral of quantum transition amplitudes.
  • To introduce and utilize a quantum action distinct from the classical action.
  • To explore the applicability of the quantum action in various quantum systems.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a closed-form expression for path integrals.
  • Introduced a new 'quantum action' with unique parameters.
  • Applied the quantum action to model systems like the harmonic oscillator, quartic potential, and double well potential.
