Response to Dr. Pashby: Time operators and POVM observables in quantum mechanics
Abstract
I argue against a general time observable in quantum mechanics except for quantum gravity theory. Then I argue in support of case specific arrival time and dwell time observables with a cautionary note concerning the broad approach to POVM observables because of the wild proliferation availableAuthor's Profile
