Abstract: Polynomial sequences $p_n(x)$ of binomial type are a principal tool in the umbral calculus of enumerative combinatorics. We express $p_n(x)$ as a emph{path integral} in the ``phase space $SpaceNimes[-pi,pi]$. The Hamiltonian is $h(phi)=su{m}_{n=0}^{i}nfty{p_n}^{\prime }(0)/n!e^{inphi}$ and it produces a Schr"odinger type equation for $p_n(x)$. This establishes a bridge between enumerative combinatorics and quantum field theory. It also provides an algorithm for parallel quantum computations. Keywords: Feynman path integral, umbral calculus, polynomial sequence of binomial type, token, Schr"odinger equation, propagator, wave function, cumulants, quantum computation.
