Three myths about time reversal in quantum theory

History and Philosophy of Physics 2023-06-22 v1

Abstract

Many have suggested that the transformation standardly referred to as 'time reversal' in quantum theory is not deserving of the name. I argue on the contrary that the standard definition is perfectly appropriate, and is indeed forced by basic considerations about the nature of time in the quantum formalism.
