Let us divide the time T into N segments each lasting δt = T/N. Then we write \langle q_F | e^{−iHT} |q_I \rangle = \langle q_F | e^{−iHδt} e^{−iHδt} . . . e^{−iHδt} |q_I \rangle Our states are normalized by \langle q' | q \rangle = δ(q' − q) with δ the Dirac delta function. ("Dirac's formulation, in the book "Quantum Field Theory" by A. Zee)
1) Why must \langle q' | q \rangle = δ(q' − q) hold?
2) Is this related to \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\Psi^*\Psi dx = 1?
Also,
Now use the fact that |q \rangle forms a complete set of states so that \int dq |q \rangle \langle q| = 1.
3) Does this even make sense?
4) Shouldn't integral be \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}?
