Path Integrals and Quantum Processes

This particle physics work aims to cover all the concepts necessary to an understanding of the path integral approach to calculating transitional elements, partition functions and source functionals. The book can be used as a supplementary text for quantum mechanics and quantum field courses.

In a clearly written and systematic presentation, Path Integrals and Quantum Processes covers all concepts necessary to understand the path integral approach to calculating transition elements, partition functions, and source functionals. The book, which assumes only a familiarity with quantum mechanics, is ideal for use as a supplemental textbook in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory courses. Graduate and post-graduate students who are unfamiliar with the path integral will also benefit from this contemporary text. Exercise sets are interspersed throughout the text to facilitate self-study.
