A calculation for the Kanai–Caldirola propagator in the de Broglie–Bohm theory is proposed. The technique of space-time transformations used in the Feynman path integral is adapted and then the problem is converted to that of the harmonic oscillator. The quantum propagator is viewed as an expansion of the guiding wave function over the velocity space. The construction is re-examined by replacing the integration over the initial velocity of the classic path by its final extremity. This gives a certain affinity with the Feynman path integral approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
