There has been a recent revival of interest in the notion of a 'trajectory' of a quantum particle. In this paper, we detail the relationship between Dirac's ideas, Feynman paths and the Bohm approach. The key to the relationship is the weak value of the momentum which Feynman calls a transition probability amplitude.

We will review the arguments that have been assumed to have established that a trajectory has no meaning in the context of quantum mechanics.
