Motivated by a recent prediction [Com. Phys., 6, 195 (2023)] that time-of-flight experiments with ultracold atoms could test different interpretations of quantum mechanics, this work investigates the arrival times predicted by the…
We develop a new conception for the quantum mechanical arrival time distribution from the perspective of Bohmian mechanics. A detection probability for detectors sensitive to quite arbitrary spacetime domains is formulated. Basic positivity…
We study a new modification of the Arrival problem, which allows for nodes that exhibit random as well as controlled behaviour, in addition to switching nodes. We study the computational complexity of these extensions, building on existing…
In quantum mechanics time usually appears as classical parameter which means that it is treated as being essentially different from spatial coordinates that are represented by operators. On the other hand, relativity theory demands to treat…
The phase estimation algorithm is so named because it allows the estimation of the eigenvalues associated with an operator. However it has been proposed that the algorithm can also be used to generate eigenstates. Here we extend this…
We consider a run-and-tumble particle on a half-line with an absorbing target at the origin. The particle has an internal velocity state that switches between two opposite values at Poisson-distributed times. The position of the particle…
We find conditions required to achieve complete population transfer, via coherent population trapping, from an initial state to a designated final state at a designated time in a degenerate $n$-state atom, where transitions are caused by an…
The probability distribution of a time measurement $T_x$ at position $x$ can be inferred from the probability distribution of a position measurement $X_t$ at time $t$ as given by the Born rule [Time-of-arrival distributions for continuous…
It has been shown in Phys. Rev. Lett., 108 170402 (2012) (https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.108.170402), that quantum tunneling is instantaneous using a time-of-arrival (TOA) operator constructed by Weyl quantization…
Adiabatic passage employs a slowly varying time-dependent Hamiltonian to control the evolution of a quantum system along the Hamiltonian eigenstates. For processes of finite duration, the exact time evolving state may deviate from the…
The von Neumann interaction between a particle and an apparatus has been considered in the measurement of the position of a particle when the interaction lasts for a finite amount of time. When the measurement has finite duration, both the…
The localization phenomenon for periodic unitary transition operators on a Hilbert space consisting of square summable functions on an integer lattice with values in a complex vector space, which is a generalization of the discrete-time…
We consider a time dependent trap externally manipulated in such a way that one of its bound states is brought up towards the continuum threshold, and then down again. We evaluate the probability $P^{stay}$ for a particle, initially in a…
We develop a general framework for the construction of probabilities for the time of arrival in quantum systems. The time of arrival is identified with the time instant when a transition in the detector's degrees of freedom takes place.…
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…
There are enough reasons for us to consider time as a dynamical variable or operator; but according to Pauli's argument the existence of a self-adjoint time operator is incompatible with the semi-boundedness of Hamiltonian spectrum. In this…
Availability of short, femtosecond laser pulses has recently made feasible the probing of phases in an atomic or molecular wave-packet (superposition of energy eigenstates). With short duration excitations the initial form of the…
In this paper, we introduce and study a time-changed variant of the Erlang queue with multiple arrivals where the time-changing component used is the first hitting time of a tempered stable subordinator. The system of fractional…
We compare the proposals that have appeared in the literature to describe a measurement of the time of arrival of a quantum particle at a detector. We show that there are multiple regimes where different proposals give inequivalent,…
An alternative quantization rule, in which time becomes a self-adjoint operator and position is a parameter, was proposed by Dias and Parisio [Phys. Rev. A {\bf 95}, 032133 (2017)]. In this approach, the authors derive a…
