• Abstract: We construct two strong-field path integral methods with full Coulomb distortion, in which the quantum pathways are mimicked by interfering electron orbits: the rate-based CQSFA (R-CQSFA) and the hybrid forward-boundary CQSFA (H-CQSFA). The methods have the same starting point as the standard Coulomb quantum-orbit strong-field approximation (CQSFA), but their implementation does not require pre-knowledge of the orbits' dynamics. These methods are applied to ultrafast photoelectron holography. In the rate-based method, electron orbits are forward propagated and we derive a non-adiabatic ionization rate from the CQSFA, which includes sub-barrier Coulomb corrections and is used to weight the initial orbit ensemble. In the H-CQSFA, the initial ensemble provides initial guesses for a subsequent boundary problem and serves to include or exclude specific momentum regions, but the ionization probabilities associated with individual trajectories are computed from sub-barrier complex integrals. We perform comparisons with the standard CQSFA and \textit{ab-initio} methods, which show that the standard, purely boundary-type implementation of the CQSFA leaves out whole sets of trajectories. We show that the sub-barrier Coulomb corrections broaden the resulting photoelectron momentum distributions (PMDs) and improve the agreement of the R-CQSFA with the H-CQSFA and other approaches. We probe different initial sampling distributions, uniform and otherwise, and their influence on the PMDs. We find that initial biased sampling emphasizes rescattering ridges and interference patterns in high-energy ranges, while an initial uniform sampling guarantees accurate modeling of the holographic patterns near the ionization threshold or polarization axis. Our results are explained using the initial to final momentum mapping for different types of interfering trajectories.

We study the approximate solution of the GQME, obtained by calculating the kernels with two methods, namely Ehrenfest mean-field theory and spin mapping. We find that the accuracy of the predictions of the GQME depends strongly on the specific technique used to calculate the kernels.
