• Abstract: As time is not an observable, we use Fisher information (FI) to address the problem of time. We show that the Hamiltonian constraint operator cannot be used to analyze any quantum process for quantum geometries that are associated with time-reparametrization invariant classical geometries. This is because the Hamiltonian constraint does not contain FI about time. We demonstrate that although the Hamiltonian operator is the generator of time, the Hamiltonian constraint operator can not observe the change that arises through the passage of time. This means that the problem of time is inescapably problematic in the associated quantum gravitational theories. Although we explicitly derive these results on the world-sheet of bosonic strings, we argue that it holds in general. We also identify an operator on the world-sheet which contains FI about time in a string theoretical processes. Motivated by this observation, we propose that a criteria for a meaningful operator of any quantum gravitational process, is that it should contain non-vanishing FI about time.

  We have given a systematic way to formulate non-relativistic quantum mechanics on 1+1 dimensional NC space-time. Although the effect of noncommutativity of space-time should presumably become significant at a very high energy scale, it is intriguing to speculate that there should be some relics of the effects of quantum space-time even in a low-energy regime.

• 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.

• The time-energy uncertainty relation for quantum events [0.0]
  Textbook quantum mechanics treats time as a classical parameter, and not as a quantum observable with an associated Hermitian operator. quantum clocks allow for a measurement of the "time at which an event happens" by conditioning the system's evolution on an additional quantum degree of freedom. We derive here two em true uncertainty relations that relate the uncertainty in the quantum measurement of the time at which a quantum event happens on a system to its energy uncertainty.

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

  Phase of matter waves depends on proper time and is susceptible to special-relativistic (kinematic) and gravitational (redshift) time dilation.

We show that closed light-pulse interferometers without clock transitions during the pulse sequence are not sensitive to gravitational time dilation in a linear potential.
