Quantum Measurements of Time: A reply to criticisms

Abstract

In [arXiv:2409.00161v1 (2024)] Cavendish et al. raise three criticisms against our time of arrival proposal [L. Maccone and K. Sacha, Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 110402 (2020)]. Here we show that all three criticisms are without merit. One of them is founded on a logical mistake.

(Un)physical consequences of "Quantum Measurements of Time"

Will Cavendish, Siddhant Das, Markus Nöth +1 more

We note that the empirical predictions of the "Quantum Clock Proposal" [L. Maccone and K. Sacha, Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 110402 (2020)] are paradoxical when viewed as a solution to the quantum arrival-time problem.

Comment on "Quantum Solution to the Arrow-of-Time Dilemma"

In this paper we criticize the attempt of Maccone [Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 080401 (2009), arXiv:0802.0438] to solve the problem of the arrow of time.

Reply to "Comment on "Quantum Time Crystals from Hamiltonians with Long-Range Interactions""

Valerii K. Kozin, Oleksandr Kyriienko

In the note by Khemani et al. [arXiv:2001.11037] the authors express conceptual disagreement with our recent paper on quantum time crystals [Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 210602]. They criticise the idealized nature of the considered quantum time crystal, and make several points about properties of Hamiltonians presented in our work. In this reply we answer one-by-one all questions raised in the discussion. As for the ideological dispute, it brightly highlights a bizarre nature of time crystalline order in closed quantum systems, and we offer a different vision for the development of the field.

Comment on "TIME OPERATOR": THE CHALLENGE PERSISTS

Jerzy Kijowski, Centrum Fizyki, Teoretycznej Pan

The criticism formulated by Mielnik and Torres-Vega in their paper, does not apply to my derivation of the time of arrival in Quantum Mechanics but to our present understanding of the quantum measurement theory.
