✦ Synopsis

An expression for the quantum time of arrival based on the current density is discussed and justified operationally by means of complex potentials that absorb the incoming wave in a finite distance without reflection or transmission. Previous arguments denying the possibility of defining the time of arrival in quantum mechanics are refuted. 1995 Academic Press, Inc.

The concept and the formalization of the arrival time in quantum mechanics are discussed. Different approaches based on trajectories, quantization rules, time operators, phase-space techniques, renewal equations or operational procedures are reviewed or proposed. Open questions and loose ends are po
