Abstract

We provide a careful analysis of the proper significance of Riahi?s comment in light of our paper (2009 J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 42 165302). We point out a fundamental difference between the quantum?classical correspondence scheme considered in our paper and that used in Riahi?s comment.

Comment on ‘Quantitative probing of the quantum–classical transition for the arrival time distribution’

Natascha Riahi

The quantum and the classical mean arrival time are the same under the influence of at most quadratic potentials if the compared initial distribution functions are Gaussians with identical statistical properties.

Quantitative probing of the quantum–classical transition for the arrival time distribution

Dipankar Home, A. K. Pan, Arka Banerjee

The classical limit problem of quantum mechanics is revisited on the basis of a scheme that enables a quantitative study of the way the quantum-classical agreement emerges while going through the intermediate mass range between the microscopic and the macroscopic domains. As a specific application of such a scheme, we investigate the classical limit of a quantum time distribution - an area of study that has remained largely unexplored. For this purpose, we focus on the arrival time distribution in order to examine the way the observable results pertaining to the quantum arrival time distribution which is defined in terms of the probability current density gradually approach the relevant classical statistical results for an ensemble that corresponds to a Gaussian wave packet evolving in a linear potential.

Comment on “Arrival time in quantum mechanics” and “Time of arrival in quantum mechanics”

Jerzy Kijowski

Contrary to claims contained in papers by Grot, Rovelli, and Tate [Phys. Rev. A 54, 4676 1996)] and Delgado and Muga [Phys. Rev. A 56, 3425 (1997)], the ``time operator,'' which I have constructed [Rep. Math. Phys. 6, 361 (1974)] in an axiomatic way, is a self-adjoint operator existing in a usual Hilbert space of (nonrelativistic or relativistic) quantum mechanics.
