Content
This lecture presents Feynman's path integral approach to non-relativistic quantum mechanics. After the presentation of the basic concept we will discuss several exactly solvable models, study methods for exact evaluations as well as approximations such as the quasi-classical solution. In a second part we will consider applications in statistical physics and stochastic processes. The morning lecture is dedicated the presentation of general formalism and concepts which then will be applied in the afternoon tutorial for a deeper understanding.
