• Abstract: Although the quantization of relativistic systems in a proper-time framework gives new insights concerning the understanding of the so-called localization problem, classical observers cannot be treated as quantum comoving frames and real measurement are typically conceived using an external parameter related to a classical frame. Here, the connection between the proper-time formalism and usual descriptions parametrized by classical observers is obtained by defining a restriction operation that mixes contributions of different values of proper-time. Such a restriction procedure allows us to retrieve the concepts of Newton-Wigner position and Kijowski time of detection in an effective fashion, opening the possibility to interpret the related causalities issues as an apparent phenomena resulting from the time uncertainty that is inherent to every physically acceptable single-particle quantum state.

  We develop a framework of integral quantization applied to the motion of spinless particles in the four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. The proposed scheme is based on coherent states generated by the action of the Heisenberg-Weyl group. A direct application of our model, including a computation of transition amplitudes between states characterized by fixed positions and momenta, is postponed to a forthcoming article.

  We argue that a two-time correlator should actually be regarded as an average involving a novel single physical observable. We provide examples showing that the presumed constituents of a two-time correlator and the proposed two-time operator itself cannot be simultaneous elements of the physical reality.

  We study how the quantum dynamics transforms into a classical-like behaviour when conditions related with macroscopicity are met by the clock alone. In the description of this emerging behaviour finds its place the classical notion of time, as well as that of phase-space and trajectories on it.

  We compare two consistent approaches to the Page-Wootters formalism to clarify the operational meaning of evolution and measurements. We show that for non-ideal clocks, the purified measurement approach yields time non-local, non-unitary evolution.

  We focus on the relationship between Kolmogorov consistency of measurement statistics and the commutativity of measurement operators. On the other hand, commutativity of measurement operators is a structural property that holds in classical physics. We detail their implications for memoryless multi-time quantum processes.

• On a proper-time approach to localization [0.0]
  The causality issues concerning Hegerfeldt's paradox and the localization of relativistic quantum systems are addressed through a proper-time formalism. It is shown that physically acceptable states are necessarily associated with the existence of a temporal uncertainty and their proper-time evolution is not subject to the causality violation predicted by Hegerfeldt.
