Quantum Mechanics of Time

  • Chapter
The Message of Quantum Science

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Physics ((LNP,volume 899))

Abstract

We start by summarising some basic concepts in the research field of quantum mechanics of time. In the following, we will review some recent results namely a new version of an energy-time uncertainty relation and a no-go theorem about tunnelling times.
