• Abstract: We show that finite physical clocks always have well-behaved signals, namely that every waiting-time distribution generated by a physical process on a system of finite size is guaranteed to be bounded by a decay envelope. Following this consideration, we show that one can reconstruct the distribution using only operationally available information, namely, that of the ordering of the ticks of one clock with the respect to those of another clock (which we call the reference), and that the simplest possible reference clock -- a Poisson process -- suffices.

• Relational Dynamics with Periodic Clocks [0.0]
  We show that a relational dynamics can be established relative to periodic clocks both in the classical and quantum theories. We show how a system evolving periodically with respect to a periodic clock can evolve monotonically with respect to an aperiodic clock, without inconsistency.

  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.

• Ticking clocks in quantum theory [0.0]
  We show that for finite systems a single natural principle serves to distinguish what we understand as ticking clocks from time-keeping systems in general. We describe the most general form of the dynamics of such a clock, and discuss the additional simplifications to go from a general ticking clock to models encountered in literature.

  Methods for machine learning on temporal networks generally exhibit at least one of two limitations. We present a simple method that avoids both shortcomings: construct the line graph of the network, which includes a node for each interaction, and weigh the edges of this graph based on the difference in time between interactions. Empirical results on real-world networks demonstrate our method's efficacy and efficiency on both edge classification and temporal link prediction.

• Quantum Process Tomography of Unitary Maps from Time-Delayed Measurements [0.0]
  Quantum process tomography conventionally uses a multitude of initial quantum states and then performs state tomography on the process output. Here we propose and study an alternative approach which requires only a single (or few) known initial states together with time-delayed measurements for reconstructing the unitary map and corresponding Hamiltonian of the time dynamics. We explain in detail how the reconstruction of a single qubit Hamiltonian works in this setting, and provide numerical methods and experiments for general few-qubit and lattice systems with local interactions.

We show that the model trained on the proposed synthetic dataset generalises towards real clocks with good accuracy.

• Relational evolution with oscillating clocks [0.0]
  Unitary evolution does not require a monotonic clock variable. Because the clock and an evolving system have a common conserved energy, the clock is in different cycles for different energy eigenstates of the system state. Coherence is almost maintained over long time scales provided the clock period is much smaller than the system period.
