'''Schwinger's quantum action principle''' is a variational approach to [[quantum field theory]] introduced by [[Julian Schwinger]]. In this approach, the '''quantum action''' is an operator. Although it is superficially different from the [[path integral formulation]] where the action is a classical function, the modern formulation of

the two formalisms are identical.
 
Suppose we have two states defined by the values of a [[complete set of commuting operators]] at two times. Let the early and late states be <math>| A \rang</math> and <math>| B \rang</math>, respectively. Suppose that there is a parameter in the Lagrangian which can be varied, usually a source for a field. The main equation of '''Schwinger's quantum action principle''' is:
 
:<math> \delta \langle B|A\rangle = i \langle B| \delta S |A\rangle,\ </math>
 
where the derivative is with respect to small changes in the parameter.
 
In the path integral formulation, the transition amplitude is represented by the sum
over all histories of <math>\exp(iS)</math>, with appropriate boundary conditions representing the states <math>| A \rang</math> and <math>| B \rang</math>. The infinitesimal change in the amplitude is clearly given by Schwinger's formula. Conversely, starting from Schwinger's formula, it is easy to show that the fields obey canonical commutation relations and the classical equations
of motion, and so have a path integral representation. Schwinger's formulation was most significant because it could treat fermionic anticommuting fields with the same formalism as bose fields, thus implicitly introducing differentiation and integration
with respect to anti-commuting coordinates.
