Performing integration over field variable

I have this exercise, where I am to integrate out the fluctuations in the order parameter δρ, but I don't really know how to do this. The integral is over r and imaginary time. Should I try to complete the square, so the correlation term between δρ and Θ drops out? In that case which shift of variables should I make?

Yes, just complete the square. The shift of variable will simply be \delta \rho \rightarrow \delta \rho - i \partial_r \theta /g.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
