Time and quantum clocks: A review of recent developments
In this review we present the problem of time in quantum physics, including a short history of
the problem and the known objections about considering time as a quantum observable …

Quantum measurements of time
We propose a time-of-arrival operator in quantum mechanics by conditioning on a quantum
clock. This allows us to bypass some of the problems of previous proposals, and to obtain a …

Times of arrival and gauge invariance
We revisit the arguments underlying two well-known arrival-time distributions in quantum
mechanics, viz., the Aharonov–Bohm–Kijowski (ABK) distribution, applicable for freely …

Arrival time distributions and perfect absorption in classical and quantum mechanics
The most general classical expression defining the first passage time is given in terms of the
absorption rate with perfectly absorbing boundary conditions. Its operational use in quantum …

Quantum delay in the time of arrival of free-falling atoms
M Beau, L Martellini - Physical Review A, 2024 - APS
Using standard results from statistics, we show that for Gaussian quantum systems the
distribution of a time measurement at a fixed position can be directly inferred from the …
