  Bohmian mechanics has been challenged by studying a system in which the motion of particles cannot be associated only with the phase gradient of the wave function.<n>We point out that, in general, Bohmian velocity is defined by the continuity equation, which does not always lead to velocity depending only on the phase gradient.

• Free expansion of a Gaussian wavepacket using operator manipulations [77.34726150561087]
  The free expansion of a Gaussian wavepacket is a problem commonly discussed in undergraduate quantum classes. We provide an alternative way to calculate the free expansion by recognizing that the Gaussian wavepacket can be thought of as the ground state of a harmonic oscillator. As quantum instruction evolves to include more quantum information science applications, reworking this well known problem using a squeezing formalism will help students develop intuition for how squeezed states are used in quantum sensing.

• 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.

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

  It is argued that the Schr"odinger equation does not yield a correct description of the quantum-mechanical time evolution of states of isolated (open) systems featuring events. A precise general law for the time evolution of states replacing the Schr"odinger equation is formulated within the so-called ETH-Approach to Quantum Mechanics.
