Description

In stationary quantum mechanical problems time is absent. However time comes back if an experiment is performed on a stationary wave function. This property is demonstrated for a real experiment (photodetachment). The wave function is shown to set the stage for mutually exclusive experimental results, each of them having its own history of Feynman paths
