Schwinger-Keldysh path integral for the quantum harmonic oscillator
read the original abstract
I review the generating function for quantum-statistical mechanics, known as the Feynman-Vernon influence functional, the decoherence functional, or the Schwinger-Keldysh path integral. I describe a probability-conserving $i\varepsilon$ prescription from a path-integral implementation of Lindblad evolution. I also explain how to generalize the formalism to accommodate out-of-time-ordered correlators (OTOCs), leading to a Larkin-Ovchinnikov path integral. My goal is to provide step-by-step calculations of path integrals associated to the harmonic oscillator.

Path Integral Approach to Quantum Fisher Information
The quantum Fisher information is reformulated as the connected symmetrized covariance of a time-integrated action deformation or as an insertion of the action derivative in the propagator within a path integral framework.

When does entanglement through gravity imply gravitons?
Entanglement through Newtonian potentials does not imply gravitons unless retardation effects are detected.
