Consider our Hamiltonian is
H=E1a†1a1+E2a†2a2+Tc(a†2a1+a†1a2)
Explicitly, The fermion coherent-state path integral for the forward transition amplitude is given by
⟨ζf|U(t−t0)|ζi⟩=∫D[ζ∗,ζ]exp(iSc[ζ∗,ζ])−−−−−−−(A)
Here ζ∗,ζ are Grassmann variables characterizing fermion coherent states. The Sc is defined as
Sc[ζ∗,ζ]=∑i=1,2{−i2[ζ∗ifζi(t)+ζ∗i(t0)ζi0]+∫tt0dτ[i2(ζ∗i˙ζi−˙ζ∗iζi)−[Eiζ∗iζi+Tcζ∗iζi′]]}
In Eq.(A), the path integral D[ζ∗,ζ] integrates over all paths ζi(τ) and ζ∗i(τ) bounded by ζi(t0)=ζi0 and ζ∗i(t0)=ζ∗if, with i≠i′.
I have no background in Path integral calculations. I don't know how can i get above expression for Sc. Any help ?
