We introduce the notion of an extended moment in time, the duron. This is a region of temporal ambiguity which arises naturally in the nature of process which we take to be basic. We introduce an algebra of process and show how it is…

We compute in a relativistic way the time-of-arrival and the traversal time through a region of a free particle with spin 1/2. We do this by applying the relativistic extension of the Event-Enhanced Quantum Theory which we have presented in…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a complex Hilbert space and let $\big\{A_{n}\big\}_{n\geq 1}$ be a sequence of bounded linear operators on $\mathcal{H}$. Then a bounded operator $B$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{K} \supseteq \mathcal{H}$ is said to be…

It is shown that a class of exponentially decaying time-of-arrival probability distributions suggested by W{\l}odarz, Marchewka and Schuss, and Jurman and Nikoli\'c, as well as a semiclassical distribution implicit in time-of-flight…

We construct a semiclassical theory for electrons in a non-Hermitian periodic system subject to perturbations varying slowly in space and time. We derive the energy of the wavepacket to first order in the gradients of the perturbations.…

In this work we explore the self-adjointness of the GUP-modified momentum and Hamiltonian operators over different domains. In particular, we utilize the theorem by von-Newmann for symmetric operators in order to determine whether the…

A new Bohmian quantum-relativistic model, in which from the Klein-Gordon equation a generalization of the standard Zitterbewegung arises, is explored. It is obtained by introducing a new independent time parameter, whose relative motions…

We prove that the Bohmian arrival time of the 1D Schroedinger evolution violates the quadratic form structure on which Kijowski's axiomatic treatment of arrival times is based. Within Kijowski's framework, for a free right moving wave…

In this work we analyze recent proposals by Das and D\"{u}rr (DD) to measure the arrival time distributions of quantum particles within the framework of de Broglie Bohm theory (or Bohmian mechanics). We also analyze the criticisms made by…

For classical dynamical systems time operators are introduced as selfadjoint operators satisfying the so called weak Weyl relation with the unitary groups of time evolution. Dynamical systems with time operators are intrinsically…

The failure of conventional quantum theory to recognize time as an observable and to admit time operators is addressed. Instead of focusing on the existence of a time operator for a given Hamiltonian, we emphasize the role of the…

We present a suitable framework for the definition of quantum time delay in terms of sojourn times for unitary operators in a two-Hilbert spaces setting. We prove that this time delay defined in terms of sojourn times (time-dependent…

We calculate the time of arrival probability distribution of a quantum particle using the Bohmian formalism. The pilot-wave is given by the wave function of the one dimensional vacuum squeezed state but written in the Schr\"odinger…

The quantum-mechanical framework in which observables are associated with Hermitian operators is too narrow to discuss measurements of such important physical quantities as elapsed time or harmonic-oscillator phase. We introduce a broader…

In the early 2000s, the study of time operators advanced as one of the methods to understand the problem of time as mathematical science. However, the starting point for the time operator is to understand time as a problem of observation…

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…
