Current Research:
Dr. Swanson's current research is focused on understanding
the relationship between path integrals and canonical
formulations of quantum mechanics and quantum field
theory. In particular, the role of classical solutions
to the equations of motion in determining approximate
quantum mechanical properties is clearest in the path
integral representation of transition amplitudes.
