- Title: Arrival time from Hamiltonian with non-hermitian boundary term
- Authors: Tajron Juri\'c, Hrvoje Nikoli\'c
- Abstract summary: A non-hermitian boundary term is shown to be proportional to the flux of the probability current operator through the boundary.
This implies that the arrival probability density is equal to the flux of the probability current.

- Abstract: We develop a new method for finding the quantum probability density of
arrival at the detector. The evolution of the quantum state restricted to the
region outside of the detector is described by a restricted Hamiltonian that
contains a non-hermitian boundary term. The non-hermitian term is shown to be
proportional to the flux of the probability current operator through the
boundary, which implies that the arrival probability density is equal to the
flux of the probability current.
