Suppose that particle detectors are placed along a Cauchy surface $\Sigma$ in Minkowski space-time, and consider a quantum theory with fixed or variable number of particles (i.e., using Fock space or a subspace thereof). It is…
There are several inequivalent proposals in the literature for how to compute the probability distribution of the time that a detector registers for the arrival of a quantum particle. For two of these proposals, based on absorbing boundary…
We consider particles emanating from a source point inside an interval in one-dimensional space and passing through detectors situated at the endpoints of the interval that register their arrival time. Unambiguous measurements of arrival or…
Absorbing boundary conditions are presented for three-dimensional time-dependent Schr\"odinger-type of equations as a means to reduce the cost of the quantum-mechanical calculations. The boundary condition is first derived from a…
Time of arrival refers to the time a particle takes after emission to impinge upon a suitably idealized detector surface. Within quantum theory, no generally accepted solution exists so far for the corresponding probability distribution of…

Absorbing boundaries are frequently employed in real-time propagation of the Schr\"odinger equation to remove spurious reflections and efficiently emulate outgoing boundary conditions. These conditions are a fundamental ingredient for an…
Imaginary potentials such as $V(x)=-iv 1_\Omega(x)$ (with $v>0$ a constant, $\Omega$ a subset of 3-space, and $1_\Omega$ its characteristic function) have been used in quantum mechanics as models of a detector. They represent the effect of…
The proper time of an observer can be introduced as a degree of freedom in quantum cosmology, additional to the existing fields. We review two arguments for using the Schr\"odinger equation to evolve the corresponding wavefunction. We…
