The arrival position problem in quantum mechanics
Ali Ayatollah Rafsanjani, Will Cavendish
The problem of making unambiguous probabilistic predictions about experiments involving waiting "always on" detectors remains a challenge for quantum theory. While most research on…

Absorbing detectors meet scattering theory
Will Cavendish, Siddhant Das
Any proposed solution to the "screen problem" in quantum mechanics -- the challenge of predicting the joint distribution of particle arrival times and impact positions -- must alig…

(Un)physical consequences of "Quantum Measurements of Time"
Will Cavendish, Siddhant Das, Markus Nöth +1
We note that the empirical predictions of the "Quantum Clock Proposal" [L. Maccone and K. Sacha, Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 110402 (2020)] are paradoxical when viewed as a solution to t…
