🌀 Sum over all paths x(t),weighted by e^(iS/ħ)Is δS = 0for this path?Nearby paths have verydifferent S ⇒ rapid phase variationDestructive interference:contributions cancelNearby paths havenearly equal S ⇒ slow phase variationConstructive interference:dominant contributionAs ħ → 0: only theclassical trajectory survivesNo (generic path)Yes (classical path)
