Time of arrival in quantum mechanics

  • 1. Departamento de Fisica Fundamental y Experimental, Universidad de La Laguna, La Laguna, Tenerife (Spain)

Description

An expression for the quanum time of arrival based on the current density is discussed and justified operationally by means of complex potentials that absorb the incoming wave in a finite distance without reflection or transmission. Previous arguments denying the possibility of defining the time quantum mechanics are refuted. copyright 1995 Academic Press, Inc
