Times of arrival and gauge invariance

S Das, M Nöth - Proceedings of the Royal Society A, 2021 - royalsocietypublishing.org
We revisit the arguments underlying two well-known arrival-time distributions in quantum
mechanics, viz., the Aharonov–Bohm–Kijowski (ABK) distribution, applicable for freely …

Questioning the adequacy of certain quantum arrival-time distributions

S Das, W Struyve - Physical Review A, 2021 - APS
It is shown that a class of exponentially decaying time-of-arrival probability distributions,
suggested by Włodarz [Phys. Rev. A 65, 044103 (2002) 10.1103/PhysRevA. 65.044103] …

Observation of optical backflow

Y Eliezer, T Zacharias, A Bahabad - Optica, 2020 - opg.optica.org
Quantum backflow is a counterintuitive phenomenon in which a forward-propagating
quantum particle propagates locally backwards. The actual counter-propagation property …

Probability flow for a free particle: new quantum effects

AJ Bracken - Physica Scripta, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
New quantum probability flow bounds and associated eigenfunctions are determined
numerically for a free non-relativistic particle, with momentum lying in the range (p 0,∞), for …

Time delays and advances in classical and quantum systems

EE Kolomeitsev, DN Voskresensky - Journal of Physics G …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
This article reviews positive and negative time delays in various processes of classical and
quantum physics. In the beginning, we demonstrate how a time-shifted response of a system …

Unbounded quantum backflow in two dimensions

M Barbier, A Goussev, SCL Srivastava - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
Quantum backflow refers to the counterintuitive fact that the probability can flow in the
direction opposite to the momentum of a quantum particle. This phenomenon has been seen …

Observation of single-photon azimuthal backflow with weak measurement

ZF Zhang, PF Huang, SC Dong, YX Rong, JS Xu… - Optics Letters, 2025 - opg.optica.org
Quantum backflow (QB), a counterintuitive interference phenomenon where particles with
positive momentum can propagate backward, is important in applications involving light …

Quantum advantages for transportation tasks-projectiles, rockets and quantum backflow

D Trillo, TP Le, M Navascués - npj Quantum Information, 2023 - nature.com
Consider a scenario where a quantum particle is initially prepared in some bounded region
of space and left to propagate freely. After some time, we verify if the particle has reached …

Quantum backflow in a ring

A Goussev - Physical Review A, 2021 - APS
Free motion of a quantum particle with the wave function entirely comprised of plane waves
with non-negative momenta may be accompanied by negative probability current, an effect …

Time-of-arrival probabilities for general particle detectors

C Anastopoulos, N Savvidou - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and …, 2012 - APS
We develop a general framework for the construction of probabilities for the time of arrival in
quantum systems. The time of arrival is identified with the time instant when a transition in …
