    "abstract": "We put forward several inherently quantum characteristics of the dwell time,\nand propose an operational method to detect them. The quantum dwell time is\npointed out to be a conserved quantity, totally bypassing Pauli\u0027s theorem.\nFurthermore, the quantum dwell time in a region for one dimensional motion is\ndoubly degenerate. In presence of a potential barrier, the dwell time becomes\nbounded, unlike the classical quantity. By using off-resonance coupling to a\nlaser we propose an operational method to measure the absorption by a complex\npotential, and thereby the average time spent by an incoming atom in the laser\nregion.",
