formulation of quantum mechanics in which the amplitude for a process is a sum over all possible paths weighted by the phase of the classical action.

In quantum physics, path integral formulation refers to formulation of quantum mechanics in which the amplitude for a process is a sum over all possible paths weighted by the phase of the classical action. This meaning comes from Feynman (1948) in Reviews of Modern Physics.[1]
