Exercise 1, from the final exam in AST4220, 2005 Exercise 2
... time does not appear in the wave function of the Universe. This is not specific to the model we are considering, it is a general fact that the Wheeler-De Witt equation does not contain time. This aspect of the formalism is not easy to understand, but we will again leave this aside and carry out some ...

A (very) brief tour of quantum mechanics, computation, and category

However, the measurement operators corresponding to these observables (position and momentum) do not commute, and hence an exact knowledge of position entails some uncertainty ...

In a “weak” measurement, the pointer shift is small and little information can be gained on a single shot; b ...

Time in quantum mechanics
... Why did Heisenberg present the ‘same’ formula (0.4) in two different guises? In classical mechanics the time parameter is sometimes turned into an internal dynamical variable conjugate to (minus) the Hamiltonian of the system. Heisenberg may have had this in mind in connection with the first equatio ...
