Magnetic domain wall tunneling is observed in the disordered Ising ferromagnet LiHo_{0.44}Y_{0.56}F_4. The tunneling can be tuned by applying a magnetic field transverse to the Ising axis, and is readily modeled with a WKB formalism.
Coherent macroscopic tunneling of a Bose-Einstein condensate between two parts of an optical lattice separated by an energy barrier is theoretically investigated. We show that by a pulsewise change of the barrier height, it is possible to…
