Resonances, Gamow Vectors and Time Asymmetric Quantum Theory
arXiv:nucl-th/9902076
Abstract
Decaying states can be represented by Gamow vectors with an exponential, asymmetric time evolution. This asymmetric evolution is a manifestation of irreversibility on the microphysical level. The Rigged Hilbert Space provides a mathematical theory.
