Tunneling, though a physical reality, is shrouded in mystery. Wave packets cannot be constructed under the barrier and group velocity cannot be defined. The tunneling particle can be observed on either sides of the barrier but its…

Characteristic features of tunneling times for dissipative tunneling of a particle through a rectangular barrier are studied within a semiclassical model involving dissipation in the form of a velocity dependent frictional force. The…
We describe a cryptographic protocol in which Wheeler's delayed choice experiment is used to generate the key distribution. The protocol, which uses photons polarized only along one axis, is secure against general attacks.
We consider tunneling to the continuum in a multi-dimensional potential. It is demonstrate that this problem can be treated as two separate problems: a) a bound state and b) a non-resonance scattering problem, by a proper splitting of the…
To model a complex system intrinsically separated by a barrier, we use two random Hamiltonians, coupled to each other either by a tunneling matrix element or by an intermediate transition state. We study that model in the universal limit of…

We show that discrete-time quantum walks on the line, $\mathbb{Z}$, behave as "the quantum tunneling". In particular, quantum walkers can tunnel through a double-well with the transmission probability $1$ under a mild condition. This is a…
