Since there is an energy operator interms of t and a momentum operator interms of x as expected.For energy there is a hamiltanion operator interms of t which is unexpected for me.Similarly whether there is any operator interms of t for momentum also?

Off the kinetic energy operator: ##2m\hat T=\hat p^2## ...
Note: the Hamiltonian operator is the energy operator.

Please provide example of "energy operator in terms of t".

ih/2π *∂/∂t is an operator of energy
 
This is misleading since time is a parameter in quantum theory not an observable, represented by an operator. The Hamiltonian represents the total energy of the system and is a function (or functional) of the fundamental operators of the theory's observable algebra like ##\hat{\vec{x}}## and ##\hat{\vec{p}}## for one particle in non-relativistic quantum theory ("first quantization") or the field operators in quantum field theories ("second quantization").
 
I am not sure if this belongs in the biology section, but it appears more of a quantum physics question. Mike Wiest, Associate Professor of Neuroscience at Wellesley College in the US. In 2024 he published the results of an experiment on anaesthesia which purported to point to a role of quantum processes in consciousness; here is a popular exposition: https://neurosciencenews.com/quantum-process-consciousness-27624/ As my expertise in neuroscience doesn't reach up to an ant's ear...

This is still a great mystery, Einstein called it ""spooky action at a distance" But science and mathematics are full of concepts which at first cause great bafflement but in due course are just accepted. In the case of Quantum Mechanics this gave rise to the saying "Shut up and calculate". In other words, don't try to "understand it" just accept that the mathematics works. The square root of minus one is another example - it does not exist and yet electrical engineers use it to do...
