Equivalence between the real time Feynman histories and the quantum shutter approaches for the "passage time" in tunneling

Quantum Physics 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

We show the equivalence of the functions Gp(t)G_{\rm p}(t) and Ψ(d,t)2|\Psi(d,t)|^2 for the ``passage time'' in tunneling. The former, obtained within the framework of the real time Feynman histories approach to the tunneling time problem, using the Gell-Mann and Hartle's decoherence functional, and the latter involving an exact analytical solution to the time-dependent Schr\"{o}dinger equation for cutoff initial waves.
