Ambiguities of arrival-time distributions in quantum theory

Quantum Physics 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We consider the definition that might be given to the time at which a particle arrives at a given place, both in standard quantum theory and also in Bohmian mechanics. We discuss an ambiguity that arises in the standard theory in three, but not in one, spatial dimension.
