Time-of-arrival states

Time-of-arrival states

Although one can show formally that a time-of-arrival operator cannot exist, one can modify the low momentum behaviour of the operator slightly so that it is self-adjoint. We show that such a modification results in the difficulty that the eigenstates are drastically altered. In an eigenstate of the modified time-of-arrival …
