The Nondemolition Measurement of Quantum Time

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The problem of time operator in quantum mechanics is revisited. The unsharp measurement model for quantum time based on the dynamical system-clock interaction, is studied. Our analysis shows that the problem of the quantum time operator with continuous spectrum cannot be separated from the measurement problem for quantum time.
