Particle paths, emitted from distributed sources and passing out through slits of two gratings, G0 and G1, up to detectors, have been computed in detail by the path integral method. The particles under consideration are fullerene molecules with a De Broglie wavelength equal to 5 pm. The slits are Gaussian functions that simulate fuzzy edges of the slits. Waves of the matter computed by this method show perfect interference patterns both between the gratings and behind the second grating. Coherent and non-coherent distributed particle sources reproducing the interference patterns are discussed in detail. Paraxial approximation results from removing the distributed sources onto innity. This approximation gives a wave function reproducing an exact copy of the Talbot carpet. PACS numbers: 03.75.-b, 03.75.Dg, 42.25.Hz

Time-dependent joint entropy is obtained for harmonic oscillator with the time-dependent mass and frequency case. It is calculated by using time-dependent wave function obtained via Feynman path integral method. Variation of time dependence is investigated for various cases.

In this paper, mesoscopic RLC circuit with source is studied with Feynman's path integral method. Resistance and source in the circuits make the quantization process rather complicated. To solve the problem, fluctuation analysis method is proposed to calculate the path integral propagator. Furthermore, the wave function and quantum fluctuation of the system are obtained, and time evolution characters of the system are discussed. The methods used in the paper would be helpful to the application of mesoscopic quantum theory.
