The problem of detection time distribution concerns a quantum particle surrounded by detectors and consists of computing the probability distribution of where and when the particle will be detected. While the correct answer can be obtained…
We consider a number of aspects of the problem of defining time observables in quantum theory. Time observables are interesting quantities in quantum theory because they often cannot be associated with self-adjoint operators. Their…
Basic for the definition of 'time' are clocks operating under stationary conditions. The periods of two clocks can be compared with each other via two return experiments. The central clock mediates between the rotating and the inertial…

Attempts to treat time on an equivalent footing with space in quantum mechanics have been apparently dominated by `timeless' approaches, such as the one of Page and Wootters, which allow meaningful discussion of a `time operator'. However,…
We consider the problem of steering control for the systems of one spin 1/2 particle and two interacting homonuclear spin 1/2 particles in an electro-magnetic field. The describing models are bilinear systems whose state varies on the Lie…

Stochastic systems consisting of a very large number of independent elementary processes of the same kind, especially the radioactive decay, are considered as quantum clocks. By adapting the framework of the previously introduced concept of…

The aim of this work is to find exact solutions of the Dirac equation in 1+1 space-time beyond the already known class. We consider exact spin (and pseudo-spin) symmetric Dirac equations where the scalar potential is equal to plus (and…

We solve the problem concerning a time optimal return of a particle with a prescribed velocity to the origin by applying a magnitude-bounded force. The equations of controlled motion are derived and explicitly integrated, and the optimal…
Time plays a crucial role in the intuitive understanding of the world around us. Within quantum mechanics, however, time is not usually treated as an observable quantity; it enters merely as a parameter in the laws of motion of physical…
