We develop a field theoretical approach based on the temporary basis description as a tool to investigate the transmission properties of a time-driven quantum device. It employs a perturbative scheme for the calculation of the transmission…

How to compute the probability distribution of a detection time, i.e., of the time which a detector registers as the arrival time of a quantum particle, is a long-debated problem. In this regard, Bohmian mechanics provides in a…
