Quantum Oscillators  

Quantum Harmonic Oscillator > s.a. feynman propagator; formulations [combinatorial]; oscillators; Polymer Representation; time in quantum theory.
* Propagator: The Feynman propagator for the quantum harmonic oscillator is (Δt:= t2t1)

DF(x2, t2; x1, t1) = [ / (2πi sin(ωΔt))1/2] exp{i /2 [(x22 + x12) · (ωΔt) − 2 x2 x1 csc(ωΔt)] } .
