4. Some readers might think, based on the behavior of stationary states, that the time-reversal operator does not change t → -t even for time-dependent Hamiltonians. A very good example that time is reversed in the Hamiltonian is that of a charged particle interacting with a time-dependent electromagnetic vector potential. See, for example, CHERN B. and TUBIS A., Am. J. Phys., 35 (1967) 254.
