Quantum time

We give a consistent quantum description of time, based on Page and Wootters's conditional probabilities mechanism, which overcomes the criticisms that were raised against similar previous proposals. In particular we show how the model allows one to reproduce the correct statistics of sequentia...

Description
Summary:We give a consistent quantum description of time, based on Page and Wootters's conditional probabilities mechanism, which overcomes the criticisms that were raised against similar previous proposals. In particular we show how the model allows one to reproduce the correct statistics of sequential measurements performed on a system at different times.
