Proper time operator and its uncertainty relation
arXiv:2203.12393 · doi:10.1088/2399-6528/ac2941
Abstract
We study the quantum properties of an oscillator in proper time. This proper time oscillator is a particle model with mass that is on shell. Its internal time can be treated as a self-adjoint operator. The displaced time and displaced time rate of the oscillator obey an uncertainty relation resembling the one between position and momentum, which is different from the usual energy-time uncertainty relation. In addition, we demonstrate that a matter field with proper time oscillators satisfies the Klein-Gordon equation. It has properties of a zero-spin quantum field. The formulations adopted permits a more symmetrical treatment between time and space in a matter field.
