This thesis introduces a new theoretical tool to explore the notion
of time and temporal order in quantum mechanics: the relativistic
quantum "clock" framework. It proposes novel thought experiments
showing that proper time can display quantum features, e.g. when a
"clock" runs different proper times in superposition. The resulting
new physical effects can be tested in near-future laboratory
experiments (with atoms, molecules and photons as "clocks"). The
notion of time holds the key to the regime where quantum theory and
general relativity overlap, which has not been directly tested yet
and remains largely unexplored by the theory. The framework also
applies to scenarios in which causal relations between events
become non-classical and which were previously considered
impossible to address without refuting quantum theory. The
relativistic quantum "clock" framework offers new insights into the
foundations of quantum theory and general relativity.
