SUMMARY:Quantum mechanics according to Feynman - Andy Zhao
DTSTART:20190225T193000Z

CONTACT:Valentin Hübner
DESCRIPTION:Introduced by Richard Feynman in the 1950s\, path integrals ha
 ve become part of the standard dialect in the physics community. Neverthel
 ess\, this powerful tool has raised much doubt and disbelief in the mathem
 atics community. In this short talk\, I will explain the intuitive idea be
 hind path integral in a way that will be comprehensible to second and thir
 d year undergraduates. The first ten minutes of the talk should be accessi
 ble to people who understand the basics of quantum and classical mechanics
 . (IA variational principles and IB quantum mechanics would suffice). A kn
 owledge of the heat equation would also be helpful. The last five minutes 
 of the talk would be more suitable for people who have a background in ana
 lysis/probability.
