The path integral formulation is a method in quantum mechanics that represents the evolution of a quantum system as a sum over all possible paths that the system can take between two points. This approach connects classical mechanics, specifically through variational principles and the principle of least action, to quantum mechanics by considering each path's contribution to the probability amplitude, allowing for a new perspective on dynamics and interactions.
congrats on reading the definition of Path Integral Formulation. now let's actually learn it.
