Time in Quantum Mechanics
by Curt A. Moyer
Publisher: arXiv 2013
Number of pages: 39
Description:
The failure of conventional quantum theory to recognize time as an observable and to admit time operators is addressed. Instead of focusing on the existence of a time operator for a given Hamiltonian, we emphasize the role of the Hamiltonian as the generator of translations in time to construct time states.

These lectures describe the basic theoretical structures underlying the quantum Hall effect. The focus is on the interplay between microscopic wavefunctions, long-distance effective Chern-Simons theories, and the modes which live on the boundary.

This is a self-contained set of lecture notes covering various aspects of the theory of open quantum system, at a level of a graduate course. The main emphasis is on completely positive maps and master equations, both Markovian and non-Markovian.
