• The solution to the problem of time in quantum gravity also solves the time of arrival problem in quantum mechanics [0.0]
  We introduce a solution to the problem of time in quantum gravity which consists in formulating the quantum theory in terms of real clocks. We show here that this construction provides a natural solution to the time of arrival problem in quantum mechanics and leads to a well defined time-energy uncertainty relation for the clocks.

We also discuss the question of switching between different internal times as well as the Montevideo interpretation of quantum theory.

  It is argued that the Schr"odinger equation does not yield a correct description of the quantum-mechanical time evolution of states of isolated (open) systems featuring events. A precise general law for the time evolution of states replacing the Schr"odinger equation is formulated within the so-called ETH-Approach to Quantum Mechanics.
