Primes

• Principle of Least Action
  • … conditions — typically fixed endpoints in configuration space and time; and (4) the consequences — Euler-Lagrange equations of motion, conservation laws via Noether's theorem , extensions to field theory (action densities, Lagrangian densities), and the quantum-mechanical generalization (Feynman's path integral

    This sourceDevelops path-integral formulation of quantum mechanics: amplitude for particle going from initial to final state is sum over all paths weighted by e^(iS/ℏ); classical path emerges as stationary-phase contribution (small ℏ limit). Radical reformulation making action central to quantum theory; enables systematic treatment of quantum field theory. PhD thesis (1942) defended; published version (1948) became canonical.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
