Popis: The problem of quantum time and evolution of quantum systems, where time is not a parameter, is considered. In our model, following some earlier works, time is represented by a quantum operator. In this paper, similarly to the position operators in the Schrödinger representation of quantum mechanics, this operator is a multiplication-type operator. It can be also represented by an appropriate positive operator-valued measure (POVM) which together with the 3D position operators/measures provide a quantum observable giving a position in the quantum spacetime. The quantum evolution itself is a stochastic process based on Lüder’s projection postulate. In fact, it is a generalization of the unitary evolution. This allows to treat time and generally the spacetime position as a quantum observable, in a consistent and observer-independent way.
