Hilgevoord, Jan (Author)
Time and space play fundamentally different roles in quantum mechanics; this seems to be the received view on time in quantum mechanics. I have argued that the difference is an apparent one and that time and space need not and should not be given essentially different quantum mechanical treatments. In this article I trace the genesis of the problem in the work of six of the founding fathers of modern quantum theory: Dirac, Heisenberg, Bohr, Schrdinger, von Neumann and Pauli, covering the period 1925--1933. Little coherence between the views of these authors has been found but, from the beginning, the mixing of notions from classical and quantum mechanics on the one hand, and from relativity theory on the other, has been an important source of confusion.
