Abstract
We revisit the problem of calculating the probability current for discontinuous states, such that may arise in atom trapping or as a result of projective measurements. In the first passage time representation, the problem reduces to evaluation of a localised wave originating from the discontinuity, whose interference with the initial state determines the transfer of probability. Depending on the type of discontinuity, the current behaves as , or . Our approach generalises earlier work on this subject.
