We show that the emergence of time evolution in an otherwise timeless nonrelativistic closed quantum system -- viewed as a poor man's model of generally covariant quantum theory -- can be understood from the perspective of the path integral…

Recent developments in quantum physics make heavy use of so-called "quantum trajectories." Mathematically, this theory gives rise to "stochastic Schr\"odinger equations", that is, perturbation of Schr\"odinger-type equations under the form…

The Schr\"{o}dinger equation admits smooth and finite solutions that spontaneously evolve into a singularity, even for a free particle. This blowup is generally ascribed to the intrinsic dispersive character of the associated time…
