Three myths about time reversal in quantum theory
Philosophy of Science 84 (2):315-334 (2017)
Abstract
Many have suggested that the transformation standardly referred to as `time reversal' in quantum theory is not deserving of the name. I argue on the contrary that the standard definition is perfectly appropriate, and is indeed forced by basic considerations about the nature of time in the quantum formalism.Author's Profile
