This lecture covers the basics and latest developments in path integral quantum mechanics, focusing on real-time path integrals, Feynman's propagator, time-correlation functions, and the time evolution of wave-functions. The instructor discusses the importance of sampling paths efficiently and the challenges in approximating quantum-time correlation functions. Various methods for approximating quantum dynamics and the limitations of classical trajectories in quantum sampling are also explored.
