| Popis: | The derivation of path integrals is reconsidered. It is shown that the expression for the discretized action is not unique, and the path integration domain can be deformed so that at least Gaussian path integrals become probabillistic. This leads to a practical algorithm of sign-problem-free Monte Carlo sampling from the Gaussian path integrals. Moreover, the dynamical influence of Gaussian quantum system (the bath) on any other quantum system can be exactly represented as interaction with classical non-Markovian noise. We discuss the relation of these findings to the Bell's theorem and the Feynman's conjecture on the exponential complexity of the classical simulation of quantum systems. In Feynman's path integral we have quasiprobability distributions for trajectories, and in analitycally continued path integrals we have probability distributions for quasitrajectories.
