General and philosophical questions in quantum theory (81P05) Commutation relations and statistics as related to quantum mechanics (general) (81S05)

Abstract: We define a quantum-mechanical time operator that is selfadjoint and compatible with the energy operator having a spectrum bounded from below. On their common domain, the operators of time and energy satisfy the expected canonical commutation relation. Pauli's theorem is bypassed because the correspondence between time and energy is not given by the standard Fourier transformation, but by a variant thereof known as the holomorphic Fourier transformation.
