Undergrad Is time continuous or discrete in quantum physics?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the nature of time in quantum physics, specifically whether it is continuous or discrete. The user initially plotted fidelity over discrete time intervals, observing constant fidelity, but then noted a decrease when using discrete angular values. A teacher recommended using continuous values for time, leading to confusion about the rationale behind this preference. It is clarified that in standard quantum theory, time is treated as a continuous real parameter rather than an observable. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the implications of time representation in quantum mechanics.

TL;DR
Is time continuous or discrete in quantum physics
I was working on plotting fidelity with time for two quantum states. First I used discrete time( t= 0,1,2,3...etc) to plot my fidelity. I got constant fidelity as 1 with continuous value of time. Next I used discrete set of values ( t=0 °,30 °,60 °,90 °). Here I saw my fidelity decreases and after a particular time it became constant (0). My teacher said that I should use continuous set of values. Why continuous rather than discrete?

The both you quote are discrete though I don' t know their units of time, including angle with which I am not familiar. I am afraid you take your teachers advice in a wrong manner.

In standard QT time is a continuous real parameter (NOT an observable).
 

Thread 'One does not “prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics'

I am slowly going through the book 'What Is a Quantum Field Theory?' by Michel Talagrand. I came across the following quote: One does not" prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics. The ultimate test for a model is the agreement of its predictions with experiments. Although it may seem trite, it does fit in with my modelling view of QM. The more I think about it, the more I believe it could be saying something quite profound. For example, precisely what is the justification of...
