Feynman’s path integral approach is studied in the framework of the Wigner-Dunkl deformation of quantum mechanics. We start with reviewing some basics from Dunkl theory and investigate the time evolution of a Gaussian wave packet, which exhibits the same dispersion relation as observed in standard quantum mechanics. Feynman’s path integral approach is then extended to Wigner-Dunkl quantum mechanics. The harmonic oscillator problem is solved explicitly. We then look at the Euclidean time evolution and the related Dunkl process. This process, which exhibit jumps, can be represented by two continuous Bessel processes, one with reflection and one with absorption at the origin. The Feynman-Kac path integral for the harmonic oscillator problem is explicitly calculated.
