ABSTRACT
In the late forties Richard Feynman (1948) proposed a path-integral form of quantum mechanics that proved to be equivalent to the conventional Schrödinger-equation form but possessed a much more heuristic force (see Feynman and Hibbs (1965) for a detailed exposition of Feynman’s theory). Our consideration of continuous measurements in the following chapters will be based on Feynman path integrals. A theory of quantum continuous measurements will be formulated directly in terms of path integrals instead of a limiting process of the type used in Chapter 2.
