• Abstract: In this work we develop an alternative approach for solution of Quantum Trajectories using the Path Integral method. The state-of-the-art technique in the field is to solve a set of non-linear, coupled partial differential equations (PDEs) simultaneously. We opt for a fundamentally different route. We first derive a general closed form expression for the Path Integral propagator valid for any general potential as a functional of the corresponding classical path. The method is exact and is applicable in many dimensions as well as multi-particle cases. This, then, is used to compute the Quantum Potential (QP), which, in turn, can generate the Quantum Trajectories. For cases, where closed form solution is not possible, the problem is formally boiled down to solving the classical path as a boundary value problem. The work formally bridges the Path Integral approach with Quantum Fluid Dynamics. As a model application to illustrate the method, we work out a toy model viz. the double-well potential, where the boundary value problem for the classical path has been computed perturbatively, but the Quantum part is left exact. Using this we delve into seeking insight in one of the long standing debates with regard to Quantum Tunneling.

  We provide two novel quantum algorithms based on Hamiltonian versions of the path integral formulation and another for Lagrangians of the form $fracm2dotx2 - V(x)$. We show that our Lagrangian simulation algorithm requires a number of queries to an oracle that computes the discrete Lagrangian that scales for a system with $eta$ particles in $D+1$ dimensions, in the continuum limit, as $widetildeO(eta D t2/epsilon)$ if $V(x)$ is bounded

  We show that the Schroedinger equation of quantum physics can be solved using a generalized form of the classical Hamilton-Jacobi least action equation. The results, which extend to the relativistic setting, build on two developments. They suggest a smooth transition between physics across scales, with the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism extending to general relativity.

  "Wasserstein Quantum Monte Carlo" (WQMC) uses the gradient flow induced by the Wasserstein metric, rather than Fisher-Rao metric, and corresponds to transporting the probability mass, rather than teleporting it. We demonstrate empirically that the dynamics of WQMC results in faster convergence to the ground state of molecular systems.

  We reformulate the technique of third quantization in a way that explicitly connects all three methods. We first show that our formulation reveals a fundamental dissipative symmetry present in all quadratic bosonic or fermionic Lindbladians. For bosons, we then show that the Wigner function and the characteristic function can be thought of as ''wavefunctions'' of the density matrix.
