I'd like to be as familiar with functional methods as with calculus. Otherwise I always fell not to grasp QFT comprehensively.

Any help is much appreciated!

There's a very good Dover book by Schulman called "Techniques and Applications of Path Integration". It's pretty thorough and has most of the stuff about functional methods you might need, at least from the theory standpoint.
 
Thank you very much.

:!)
 
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!
