abstract
We propose a new way to perform path integrals in quantum mechanics by using a quantum version of Hamilton-Jacobi theory. In classical mechanics, Hamilton-Jacobi theory is a powerful formalism, however, its utility is not explored in quantum theory beyond approximation schemes. The canonical transformation enables one to set the new Hamiltonian to constant or zero, but keeps the information about solution in Hamilton's characteristic function. To benefit from this in quantum theory, one must work with a formulation in which classical Hamiltonian is used. This uniquely points to phase space path integral. However, the main variable in HJ-formalism is energy, not time. Thus, we are led to consider Fourier transform of path integral, spectral path integral, $\tilde Z(E)$. The evaluation of path integral reduces to determining the quantum Hamilton's characteristic functions (which can be achieved via an asymptotic analysis), and a discrete sum over the quantum period lattice, generalizing Gutzwiller's sum.

Exact WKB analysis of inverted triple-well: resonance, PT-symmetry breaking, and resurgence
Exact WKB analysis of inverted triple-well potential reveals PT-symmetry breaking at an exceptional point given by a simple relation between bounce and bion actions, with median-summed spectra real or complex accordingly.

Exact WKB in all sectors II: Potentials with non-degenerate saddles
For generic one-dimensional potentials, the exact spectrum decomposes into as many trans-series sectors as there are distinct local-minimum energy levels, with continuous transitions across barrier tops and discontinu...

Template masks for 4D-STEM
A template-to-mask correlation imaging method for 4D-STEM is claimed in the abstract, but the supplied full text is an unrelated hep-th paper, leaving the claim unverifiable.
