Abstract
We begin the Article with confusing citations in published papers on the question recently: how much time does a wave packet spend in a tunnelling barrier? ..a particle tunnelling through a barrier appears to do so in zero time 1. .. The pulse transit through the barrier itself seems to be instantaneous 2. ..tunnelling is unlike to be an instantaneous process 3. ..ionization time is close to zero 4. ..all waves have a zero tunneling time [5]. ..Our results are inconsistent with claims that tunnelling takes zero time 6
