Quantum Oscillators  

Quantum Harmonic Oscillator > s.a. feynman propagator; formulations [combinatorial]; oscillators; time in quantum theory.
* Propagator: The Feynman propagator for the quantum harmonic oscillator is (t:= t2–t1)

DF(x2, t2; x1, t1) = [m / (2i sin(t))1/2] exp{i m/2 [(x22+x12) · (t) – 2 x2x1 csc(t)] } .
