Geometry and Quantum Theory Seminar: Path integral quantization of particles via probability (Part 2)

GEOMETRY AND QUANTUM THEORY

When: September 22, 2026
4:15 pm - 6:30 pm
Where: Science Center 507
Address: 1 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, United States
Speaker: Dan Freed (Harvard University)

I will pick up where I left off last week.  The first half of the lecture will cover the general strategy of constructing a quantum system using Markov processes, as described in Section 2.1 of Chatterjee’s book.  Then I will follow his Chapter 1 to apply it to a particle on the line with a potential.
