SUMMARY
Quantum mechanics (QM) utilizes both n-dimensional and infinite-dimensional integrals. The Feynman path integral is inherently infinite-dimensional, while the integrals that define inner products in systems with a finite number of particles are finite-dimensional. This distinction is crucial for understanding the mathematical framework of quantum mechanics and its applications.
