= Path integral formulation

This one might actually be understandable! It is what <Richard Feynman> starts to explain at: <Richard Feynman Quantum Electrodynamics Lecture at University of Auckland (1979)>.

The difficulty is then proving that the total probability remains at 1, and maybe causality is hard too.

The path integral formulation can be seen as a generalization of the <double-slit experiment> to infinitely many slits.

Feynman first stared working it out for <non-relativistic quantum mechanics>, with the relativistic goal in mind, and only later on he attained the relativistic goal.

TODO why intuitively did he take that approach? Likely is makes it easier to add <special relativity>.

This approach more directly suggests the idea that <quantum particles take all possible paths>.
