• Abstract: We further develop the general theory of quantum time distributions introduced in arXiv:2010.07575 and apply it to find the distribution of arrival times at the detector. Even though the Hamiltonian in the absence of detector is hermitian, the time evolution of the system before detection involves dealing with a non-hermitian operator obtained from the projection of the hermitian Hamiltonian onto the region in front of the detector. Such a formalism eventually gives rise to a simple and physically sensible analytical expression for the arrival time distribution, for arbitrary wave packet moving in one spatial dimension with negligible distortion.

  How to compute the probability distribution of a detection time is a long-debated problem. We explain why certain distributions that Das and D"urr presented as the distribution of the detection time in a case with spin, is actually not what Bohmian mechanics predicts.

  We consider sets of states in conformal quantum mechanics associated to generators of time evolution whose orbits cover different regions of the time domain. States labelled by a continuous global time variable define the two-point correlation functions of the theory seen as a one-dimensional conformal field theory.

  Universality of motion under gravity, the equivalence principle, is violated for quantum particles. We study time it takes for a quantum particle to scatter from the gravitational potential, and show that the scattering time acts as an indicator of the equivalence principle violation.

• Localized non-relativistic quantum systems in curved spacetimes: a general characterization of particle detector models [0.0]
  We provide a consistent way of describing a localized non-relativistic quantum system undergoing a timelike trajectory in a curved spacetime. This framework naturally provides a recipe for mapping a quantum theory defined in a non-relativistic background to a theory around a timelike trajectory in curved spacetimes. We then apply our formalism to particle detector models, that is, to the case where the non-relativistic quantum system is coupled to a quantum field in a curved background.

  We study the phenomenon of transmission across the singularity that separates the two half-cylinders. All the local realisations of the free (Laplace-Beltrami) quantum Hamiltonian are examined as non-equivalent protocols of transmission/reflection. This allows to comprehend the distinguished status of the so-called bridging' transmission protocol previously identified in the literature.

• Bulk detection of time-dependent topological transitions in quenched chiral models [48.7576911714538]
  We show that the winding number of the Hamiltonian eigenstates can be read-out by measuring the mean chiral displacement of a single-particle wavefunction. This implies that the mean chiral displacement can detect the winding number even when the underlying Hamiltonian is quenched between different topological phases.
