In the deformed quantum mechanics with a minimal length, one WKB connection formula through a turning point is derived. We then use it to calculate tunnelling rates through potential barriers under the WKB approximation. Finally, the…

All the previous studies on photonic tunneling are just based on a simple and directly analogy with a one-dimensional quantum-mechanical tunneling, without taking into account the horizontal structure of electromagnetic waves along the…
We consider the tunneling processes induced by two-particle collisions. The result derived by the termal bath approach is reproduced by the classical configurations. The Coulomb and Yukawa corrections for the rate of the process are…
We investigate the tunnelling of spin 1/2 particles through event horizons. We first apply the tunnelling method to Rindler spacetime and obtain the Unruh temperature. We then apply fermion tunnelling to a general non-rotating black hole…
Following a brief review of the "two-level (tunneling) systems" model of the low-temperature properties of amorphous solids ("glasses"), we ask whether it is in fact the unique explanation of these properties as is usually assumed,…
This is an analysis of some aspects of an old but still controversial topic, superluminal quantum tunneling. Some features of quantum tunneling described in literature, such as definition of the tunneling time and a frequency range of a…
We consider the thermal properties of a scalar field theory on curved spacetimes. In particular, we argue for the existence in the de Sitter, Kruskal and Rindler manifolds of a discrete spectrum of allowed temperatures (the odd multiples of…
We study the quantum tunneling of two one-dimensional quasi-condensates made of alkali-metal atoms, considering two different tunneling configurations: side-by-side and head-to-tail. After deriving the quasiparticle excitation spectrum, we…
We revisit the tunneling picture for the Hawking effect in light of the charged Nariai manifold, because this general relativistic solution, which displays two horizons, provides the bonus to allow the knowledge of exact solutions of the…

We study the dynamics of a quantum particle in a constricted two-dimensional channel and analyze how the onset of quantum corrections impacts the (semi-)classical high-temperature behaviour, as temperature is lowered. We characterize both…
