The origin of nonlocality in quantum mechanics (QM) is analyzed from the viewpoint of our new model of a one-dimensional (1D) completed scattering. Our study of quantum nonlocality complements those carried out by Volovich and Khrennikov.…

The traversal time for tunneling is a measure of the time during which the transmitted particle can be affected by interactions localized in the barrier. The Buttiker-Landauer approach, which estimates this time by imposing an internal…
