Time operator within projection evolution model

Abstract

We apply the projection evolution approach to the particle detection process and calculation of the detection moment. Influence of the essential system properties on the evolution process is discussed. It is shown, that using only the projection postulate in the evolution scheme allows to understand the time as a kind of observable.
