The time taken by a wave packet to cross through a finite layered $PT$-symmetric system is calculated by stationary phase method. We consider the $PT$- symmetric system of fix spatial length $L$ consisting of $N$ units of the potential…
The Hartman effect for the tunneling particle implies the independence of group delay time on the opaque barrier width, with superluminal velocities as a consequence. This effect is further examined on a quantum ring geometry in the…
Using a time operator, we define a tunneling time for a particle going through a barrier. This tunneling time is the average of the phase time introduced by other authors. In addition to the delay time caused by the resonances over the…
In this letter we prove explicitly that if Hartman effect exists for an arbitrary `unit cell' potential, then it also exist for a periodic system constructed using the same `unit cell' potential repeatedly. We further show that if Hartman…
A unified approach to the time analysis of tunnelling of nonrelativistic particles is presented, in which Time is regarded as a quantum-mechanical observable, canonically conjugated to Energy. The validity of the Hartman effect…
Recent studies of the tunnelling through two opaque barriers claim that the transit time is independent of the barrier widths and of the separation distance between the barriers. We observe, in contrast, that if multiple reflections are…
In this work we revisit the Salecker-Wigner-Peres clock formalism and show that it can be directly applied to the phenomenon of tunneling. Then we apply this formalism to the determination of the tunneling time of a non relativistic…
The time of passage of the transmitted wave packet in a tunneling collision of a quantum particle with a square potential barrier becomes independent of the barrier width in a range of barrier thickness. This is the Hartman effect, which…

Tunneling delay times of wavepackets in quantum mechanical penetration of rectangular barriers have long been known to show a perplexing independence with respect to the width of the barrier. This also has relevence to the transmission of…
An explicit expression is obtained for the phase-time corresponding to tunneling of a (non-relativistic) particle through two rectangular barriers, both in the case of resonant and in the case of non-resonant tunneling. It is shown that the…
