• Abstract: A time of arrival (TOA) operator that is conjugate with the system Hamiltonian was constructed by Galapon without canonical quantization in [J. Math. Phys. \textbf{45}, 3180 (2004)]. The constructed operator was expressed as an infinite series but only the leading term was investigated which was shown to be equal to the Weyl-quantized TOA-operator for entire analytic potentials. In this paper, we give a full account of the said TOA-operator by explicitly solving all the terms in the expansion. We interpret the terms beyond the leading term as the quantum corrections to the Weyl quantization of the classical arrival time. These quantum corrections are expressed as some integrals of the interaction potential and their properties are investigated in detail. In particular, the quantum corrections always vanish for linear systems but nonvanishing for nonlinear systems. Finally, we consider the case of an anharmonic oscillator potential as an example.

  We find an appropriate quantum image of the classical arrival time $mathcalT_C(q,p)$, usually in operator form $hatmathrmT$. The resulting quantum image is a real-valued and time-reversal symmetric function $mathcalT_M(q,p)$ in formal series of $hbar2$ with the classical arrival time as the leading term.

  In the case of a quantum-classical hybrid system, the problem of characterizing the most general dynamical semigroup is solved under the restriction of being quasi-free. We show how to extract multi-time probabilities and how to connect them to the quantum notions of positive operator valued measure and instrument. A concrete example is given, showing how a classical component can input noise into a quantum one and how the classical system can extract information on the behaviour of the quantum one.
