Feynman path integrals

Feynman path integrals are a way to understand quantum mechanics by considering all possible ways a particle can move from one point to another. Instead of just one path, the particle explores every possible route simultaneously, with each path contributing a certain "weight" based on how likely it is. By summing over all these paths, we can calculate the probability of finding the particle in a particular place at a given time. This approach provides a powerful and intuitive way to grasp quantum behavior, emphasizing the fundamental idea that particles don't have a single, definite path but an infinite set of possibilities.
