Time reversal operatorDiscrete symmetries in non-relativistic quantum mechanicsThe time reversal operator can be unitary or anti-unitary. In the first case, there are necessarily states of negative energy, wher
Time-reversal invariance could be restored by still maintaining that the wave-function is physically real but insisting that it is a ray in Hilbert space rather than a scalar field. In this way it would be natural for the time-reversal operator to act on the wave-function as to preserve ...
That in quantum mechanics in order to execute a time reversal operation one has to perform complex conjugation of the wave function, implies that the time reversal operator \(\hat{{\mathscr{T}}}\) is a product of a complex conjugation operator \(\hat{{\mathscr{K}}}\) and a unitary ro...
According to the second law of thermodynamics, the evolution of physical systems has a preferred direction, that is characterized by some positive entropy production. Here we propose a direct way to measure the stochastic entropy produced while driving a
4 for a description of basic quantum mechanics. Note that the Schrödinger equation is not invariant under the application of a simple time-reversal operator, T: t → −t (i.e., if Ψ (t) is a solution, Ψ (−t) may not be a solution) but it is time-reversal invariant under...
aThis completes the proof of the two assertions. The key to the derivation is that time reversal in quantum mechanics is equivalent to complex conjugation. Therefore, if we do both operations (Eq. 18.38) the new result must equal the original quantity. 这完成二主张的证明。 派生的钥匙是时间反...
Since in quantum mechanics only the absolute value |ψ| 2 leads to observable effects, one can state that the Schr¨ odinger equation is invariant for time reversal. 1 The time-reversal invariance of Maxwell’s equations is related to the fact that the current and the magnetic field ...
4.4 Time-Reversal Properties of Spinors We considered time-reversal for zero-spin systems in Sec. 3.6.3 Spherical_t-rSec. where we showed that the time-reversal operator is an antilinear operator (more specifically, an antiunitary operator), the properties of which are discussed in Appendix A...
A Hamiltonian H^ is said to be PT-symmetric if it commutes with the combined operator P^T^, but not necessarily with P^ and T^ separately. Here P^ and T^ are the parity and time-reversal operators, respectively. PT symmetry is said to be unbroken if every eigenstate of H^ is PT-...

Our work employs a time-reversal protocol to quantify the impact of external decoherence, and leverages quantum typicality to circumvent the exponential ...
