Time it takes to travel from one position to another, devoid of any quantum mechanical description, has been modeled variously, especially for quantum tunneling. The model time, if universally valid, must be subluminal, must hold everywhere…
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…

Tunneling is an important physical process. The observation that particles surmount a high mountain in spite of the fact that they don't have the necessary energy cannot be explained by classical physics. However, this so called tunneling…
