The self adjoint operator of time in non-relativistic quantum mechanics is found within the approach where the ordinary Hamiltonian is not taken to be conjugate to time. The operator version of the reexpressed Liouville equation with the…

W. Pauli pointed out that the existence of a self-adjoint time operator is incompatible with the semibounded character of the Hamiltonian spectrum. As a result, people have been arguing a lot about the time-energy uncertainty relation and…

We further develop the general theory of quantum time distributions introduced in arXiv:2010.07575 and apply it to find the distribution of arrival times at the detector. Even though the Hamiltonian in the absence of detector is hermitian,…

Time operators for an abstract semi-bounded self-adjoint operator $H$ with purely discrete spectrum is considered. The existence of a bounded self-adjoint time operator $T$ for $H$ is known as Galapon time operator. In this paper, a…

We consider in a Hilbert space a self-adjoint operator H and a family Phi=(Phi_1,...,Phi_d) of mutually commuting self-adjoint operators. Under some regularity properties of H with respect to Phi, we propose two new formulae for a time…

Based on the recent construction of a self-adjoint momentum operator for a particle confined in a one-dimensional interval, we extend the construction to arbitrarily shaped regions in any number of dimensions. Different components of the…

We demonstrate that the time operator that measures the time of arrival of a quantum particle into chosen state can be defined as a self-adjoint quantum-mechanical operator using periodic boundary conditions on applied to wavefuncions in…

We study the momentum operator defined on the disjoint union of two intervals. Even in one dimension, the question of two non-empty open and non-overlapping intervals has not been worked out in a way that extends the cases of a single…

This paper introduces a new asymptotic regime for simplifying stochastic models having non-stationary effects, such as those that arise in the presence of time-of-day effects. This regime describes an operating environment within which the…

The time of arrival at an arbitrary position in configuration space can be given as a function of the phase space variables for the Liouville integrable systems of classical mechanics, but only for them. We review the Jacobi-Lie…

We study the properties of a quantum field with time as a dynamical variable. Temporal vibrations are introduced to restore the symmetry between time and space in a matter field. The system with vibrations of matter in time and space obeys…

Time of arrival in quantum mechanics is discussed in two versions: the classical axiomatic "time of arrival operator" introduced by J. Kijowski and the EEQT method. It is suggested that for free particles the two methods may lead to the…

The time operator, an operator which satisfies the canonical commutation relation with the Hamiltonian, is investigated, on the basis of a certain algebraic relation for a pair of operators T and H, where T is symmetric and H self-adjoint.…
