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…
The quantum motion of nuclei, generally ignored in sliding friction, can become important for an atom, ion, or light molecule sliding in an optical lattice. The density-matrix-calculated evolution of a quantum Prandtl-Tomlinson model,…
