Ambiguities of arrival-time distributions in quantum theory
arXiv:quant-ph/9809085 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.59.3218
Abstract
We consider the definition that might be given to the time at which a particle arrives at a given place, both in standard quantum theory and also in Bohmian mechanics. We discuss an ambiguity that arises in the standard theory in three, but not in one, spatial dimension.
