Time-reversal invariance and irreversibility in time-asymmetric quantum mechanics
The aim of this paper is to analyze the concepts of time-reversal invariance and irreversibility in the so-called ’time-asymmetric quantum mechanics’. We begin with pointing out the difference between these two concepts. On this basis, we show that irreversibility is not as tightly linked to the semigroup evolution laws of the theory -which lead to its non time-reversal invarianceas usually sug...
متن کاملTime-reversal-breaking induced quantum spin Hall effect
We show that quantum spin Hall (QSH) effect does not occur in a square lattice model due to cancellation of the intrinsic spin-orbit coupling coming from different hopping paths. However, we show that QSH effect can be induced by the presence of staggered magnetic fluxes alternating directions square by square. When the resulting Peierls phase takes a special value , the system has a composite ...
متن کاملQuantum Transport Enhancement by Time-Reversal Symmetry Breaking
Quantum mechanics still provides new unexpected effects when considering the transport of energy and information. Models of continuous time quantum walks, which implicitly use time-reversal symmetric Hamiltonians, have been intensely used to investigate the effectiveness of transport. Here we show how breaking time-reversal symmetry of the unitary dynamics in this model can enable directional c...
متن کاملTime reversal invariance in finance
Time reversal invariance can be summarised as follows: no difference can be measured if a sequence of events is run forward or backward in time. Because price time series are dominated by a randomness that hides possible structures and orders, the existence of time reversal invariance requires care to be investigated. Different statistics are constructed with the property to be zero for time se...
متن کاملTime Reversal Invariance and Irreversibility 1. The standard approach to time reversal invariance for dynamical systems
1. The standard approach to time reversal invariance for dynamical systems State space . A process P is a parameterized curve s(t) in . So a process that describes the evolution from ti to tf is given by P : t 7! s(t); ti t tf . The reversaloperation is an involution R : s 7! Rs (Rs = s). Then the time reversed process is P : t 7! T s(t) := (Rs)( t); tf t ti. A theory is said to be time rever...
