A selfadjoint variant of the time operator

Rafael de la Madrid, J. M. Isidro

Published Feb 12, 2007• 2 citations
arXivHTMLPDF

Abstract

We study the selfadjoint time operator recently constructed by one of the authors. We will show that this time operator must be interpreted as a ``selfadjoint variant'' of the time operator.

The HFT Selfadjoing Variant of Time Operators

Rafael de la Madrid, J. M. Isidro

We study the physical meaning of the selfadjoint time operator recently constructed by one of the authors using the holomorphic Fourier transform (HFT). We will show that for any time operator T that is canonically conjugated to a Hamiltonian H whose spectrum coincides with the positive real line, the HFT yields a time operator T√ that must be interpreted as a “selfadjoint variant” of the original time operator T.

Special Operators on I E → 3

K. Kong Wan

A simple operation is to lengthen or to shorten a vector by a factor a without changing its orientation. The simplest operator of this kind is the identity operatorII^. The operators introduced so far have a clear geometric meaning. One should use these operators as building blocks to establish other operators which may not have distinctive geometric properties. The building blocks we have in mind are projectors. Selfadjoint matrices and selfadjoint operators have many distinctive properties which are crucial to the probabilistic formulation of quantum mechanics. Since selfadjoint operators are represented by selfadjoint matrices one can solve their eigenvalue problem in terms of their representative selfadjoint matrices to obtain similar results, e.g., the contents of Theorems for selfadjoint matrices also carry over to selfadjoint operators. Selfadjoint operators with non-negative eigenvalues can be singled out to form a distinctive group with many useful properties.
