Time Asymmetric Quantum Theory
Quantum Mechanics is usually considered as a time symmetric theory
with reversible time evolution. But quantum physics has its own
fundamental arrow of time, because a quantum state must be prepared
first, before an observable can be measured in this state. Starting
with an experimental justification of this time asymmetry, it will be
explained how a simple modification of standard quantum mechanics will
lead to a time asymmetric, unified theory of non-relativistic and
relativistic resonance and decay phenomena.
