This lecture covers the ring-polymer instanton theory, path-integral approach to quantum mechanics, connection to classical mechanics, imaginary-time path integrals, reaction rates, and tunnelling phenomena. It also discusses the principle of least action, stationary-action pathways, ab initio quantum rate theory, Gaussian process regression, and tunnelling splitting patterns.
