Weak measurement of arrival time

J. Ruseckas, B. Kaulakys

abstract: The arrival time probability distribution is defined by analogy with the classical mechanics. The difficulty of requirement to have the values of non-commuting operators is circumvented using the concept of weak measurements. The proposed procedure is suitable to the free particles and to the particles subjected to an external potential, as well. It is shown that such an approach imposes an inherent limitation to the accuracy of the arrival time determination.
