A curious feature of quantum tunneling known as the MacColl-Hartman effect results in the numerical observation that particles can traverse a barrier with effective superluminal speed. However, because tunneling is never certain, any…
We investigate the tunneling time of a wave packet propagating through a non-Hermitian potential $V_{r} - iV_{i}$ in space-fractional quantum mechanics. By applying the stationary phase method, we derive a closed-form expression for the…
In this paper we develop and refine our recent model of a one-dimensional completed scattering, which gives an individual description of the transmission and reflection subprocesses at all stages of scattering. We show that the group, dwell…
We study the temporal aspects of quantum tunneling as manifested in time-of-arrival experiments in which the detected particle tunnels through a potential barrier. In particular, we present a general method for constructing temporal…
What time does a clock tell after quantum tunneling? Predictions and indirect measurements range from superluminal or instantaneous tunneling to finite durations, depending on the specific experiment and the precise definition of the…
Tunnelling transit time for a frustrated total internal reflection in a double-prism experiment was measured using microwave radiation. We have found that the transit time is of the same order of magnitude as the corresponding transit time…
A controversy surrounding the "tunnelling time problem" stems from the seeming inability of quantum mechanics to provide, in the usual way, a definition of the duration a particle is supposed to spend in a given region of space. For this…
Tunneling time in attosecond and strong field experiments is one of the most controversial issues in today's research, because of its importance to the theory of time, the time operator and the time-energy uncertainty relation in quantum…
There remains the old question of how long a quantum particle takes to tunnel through a potential barrier higher than its incident kinetic energy. In this article a solution of the question is proposed on the basis of a realistic…
We analyze the tunneling time problem via the presence time formalism. With this method we reproduce previous results for very long wavepackets and we are able to calculate the tunneling time for general wavepackets of arbitrary shape and…
This is an analysis of some aspects of an old but still controversial topic, superluminal quantum tunneling. Some features of quantum tunneling described in literature, such as definition of the tunneling time and a frequency range of a…
An explicit expression is obtained for the phase-time corresponding to tunneling of a (non-relativistic) particle through two rectangular barriers, both in the case of resonant and in the case of non-resonant tunneling. It is shown that the…
A {\it completed} scattering of a particle on a static one-dimensional (1D) potential barrier is a combined quantum process to consist from two elementary sub-processes (transmission and reflection) evolved coherently at all stages of…
Experiments done in the early 1990's produced a surprising result: that single photons pass through a photonic tunnel barrier with a group velocity faster than the vacuum speed of light. Subsequent experiments with classical pulses have…
The tunneling time is here investigated by means of an electromagnetic model, for a system where a gap, between two parallel planes, acts as a classically-forbidden region for an impinging pulse with incidence angle larger than the critical…
The measurement of the tunneling time (T-time) in today's attosecond and strong field (low-frequency) experiments, despite its controversial discussion, offers a fruitful opportunity to understand time measurement and the time in quantum…
We study the phenomenon of one-dimensional non-resonant tunnelling through two successive potential barriers, separated by an intermediate free region R, by analyzing the relevant solutions to the Schroedinger equation. We find that the…
We consider the time delay of massive, non-relativistic, one-dimensional particles due to a tunneling potential. In this setting the well-known Hartman effect asserts that often the sub-ensemble of particles going through the tunnel seems…
The phenomenon of quantum tunneling remains a fascinating and enigmatic one, defying classical notions of particle behavior. This paper presents a novel theoretical investigation of the tunneling phenomenon, from the viewpoint of Hartman…
The tunneling time of particle through given barrier is commonly defined in terms of "internal clocks" which effectively measure the interaction time with internal degrees of freedom of the barrier. It is known that this definition of the…
