Abstract
Let be the time-dependent quantum mechanical propagator for a particle that is free except for a half-plane barrier with a straight edge. A closed-form exact expression for is presented in terms of the Fresnel integral for the case where the initial and final positions lie in a plane perpendicular to the edge. is not expressible as a sum over classical paths.
