A quantum arrow of time
Alberto C. de la Torre
TL;DR
This paper proposes that the position-momentum correlation in quantum mechanics consistently increases, serving as a reliable quantum arrow of time without the limitations of previous proposals.
Contribution
It introduces position-momentum correlation as a novel quantum arrow of time that is always non-decreasing, addressing issues in earlier approaches.
Findings
Position-momentum correlation never decreases in quantum systems.
This correlation can serve as a robust quantum arrow of time.
The proposal avoids shortcomings of previous time direction indicators.
Abstract
It is shown that position-momentum correlation is never decreasing and therefore it is a good candidate as a quantum arrow of time devoid of shortcomings of other proposals.
