Abstract
Time plays a special role in Standard QuantumTheory. The concept of time observable causes manycontroversies there. In Event-Enhanced Quantum Theory(EEQT) Schrodinger's differential equation is replaced by a piecewise deterministic algorithm thatdescribes also the timing of events. This allows us torevisit the problem of time of arrival in quantumtheory.
