Time in Quantum Mechanics
by Curt A. Moyer
Publisher: arXiv 2013
Number of pages: 39
Description:
The failure of conventional quantum theory to recognize time as an observable and to admit time operators is addressed. Instead of focusing on the existence of a time operator for a given Hamiltonian, we emphasize the role of the Hamiltonian as the generator of translations in time to construct time states.

Principles of a 2nd Quantum Mechanics: Indeterminism, Non-locality, Unificationby Mioara Mugur-Schächter - arXiv.org
A qualitative representation of microstates is established quite independently of the quantum mechanical mathematical formalism. The foundations of an intelligible reconstruction of the Hilbert-Dirac formulation of Quantum Mechanics is developed.
