Abstract

In this paper we are going to introduce a new dynamical postulate in Quantum Mechanics. This new principle is defined using path integrals over the set of normalized wave functions. We will show in a qualitative way that this postulate is equivalent to the Schrodinger equation and to the measurement postulates. Then we propose a new set of fundamental postulates for Quantum Mechanics. In this approach to Quantum Mechanics we separate the fundamental postulates and the physical interpretation. The fundamental postulates are abstract mathematical principles. Their physical interpretation depend on the physical system under study. These postulates do not use the concepts of measurement device and observer.
