Synopsis
The treatment of time in quantum mechanics is still an important and challenging open question in the foundation of the theory. This book describes the problems, and the attempts and achievements in defining, formalizing and measuring different time quantities in quantum theory, such as the parametric (clock) time, tunneling times, decay times, dwell times, delay times, arrival times or jump times. This multiauthored book, written as an introductory guide for the non-initiated as well as a useful source of information for the expert, covers many of the open questions. A brief historical overview is to be found in the introduction. It is followed by 12 chapters devoted to conceptual and theoretical investigations as well as experimental issues in quantum-mechanical time measurements. This unique monograph should attract physicists as well as philosophers of science working in the foundations of quantum physics.

Review
"I enjoyed reading this valuable addition to Springer’s Lecture Notes in Physics series. Beginning with a clear introduction to the perplexing issue of the nature of time in quantum mechanics, the reader then undertakes a stimulating excursion through a sequence of chapters written by leading researchers. Theory and experiment are nicely balanced, and extensive lists of references accompany each chapter. [...] this text is currently the final word as it presents a representative survey of current topics on this subject." (Berry Sanders, The Physicist, 39/5, 2002)
"Each of the contributions is presented in the same spirit and gives a quick but complete short review in the proposed topics. In conclusion, this unique monograph should interest both physicists and philosophers of science working in the foundations of quantum physics." (Physicalia, 25/2, 2003)
