On the basis of quant-ph/0405028 we define the Larmor times for transmission and reflection. These times are valid both for the stationary and time-dependent scattering processes, without any restrictions on the shape of Gaussian-like wave…

We analyze the effects of inelastic scattering on the tunneling time theoretically, using generalized Nelson's quantum mechanics. This generalization enables us to describe quantum system with optical potential and channel couplings in a…

The transit times are obtained for a symmetrized (two identical bosons) and an antisymmetrized (two identical fermions) quantum colliding configuration. Considering two identical particles symmetrically impinging on a one-dimensional…

In quantum tunnelling, what appears an infinitely fast barrier traversal can be explained in terms of an Aharonov-like weak measurement of the tunnelling time, in which the role of the pointer is played by the particle's own coordinate. A…

We compare Hawking radiation in a collapse background with Schwinger pair creation in an electric field. The comparison is driven by the presence of an analogue horizon in the Schwinger case, which causally divides spacetime for classical…

We exploit the analogy between tunnelling across a potential barrier and Aharonov's weak measurements to resolve the long standing paradox between the impossibility to exceed the speed of light and the seemingly 'superluminal' behaviur of…

We show the equivalence of the functions $G_{\rm p}(t)$ and $|\Psi(d,t)|^2$ for the ``passage time'' in tunneling. The former, obtained within the framework of the real time Feynman histories approach to the tunneling time problem, using…

The Larmor precession of a neutral spinning particle in a magnetic field confined to the region of a one dimensional-rectangular barrier is investigated for both a nonrelativistic and a relativistic incoming particle. The spin precession…

This paper reviews several applications of photonic side-bands, used by Buttiker and Landauer in their theory of traversal time in tunneling [Phys. Rev. Lett. 49, 1739 (1982)], in transport and optics of mesoscopic systems. Topics include…

Wave tunneling is an intriguing phenomenon spanning different branches of physics, from quantum mechanics to classical electrodynamics and optics. The Wigner (or phase) time is proved to be an adequate measure to describe wave transit…

The aim of this work is to review the tunnelling method as an alternative description of the quantum radiation from black holes and cosmological horizons. The method is first formulated and discussed for the case of stationary black holes,…

Analytic solutions to the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation for cutoff wave initial conditions are used to investigate the time evolution of the transmitted probability density for tunneling. For a broad range of values of the potential…

Tunnelling lies at the heart of quantum mechanics and is a fundamental process in attosecond science, molecular biology, and quantum devices. Whether tunnelling takes time and how a microscopic particle transits through a barrier have been…

The concept of phase and dwell times used in tunneling is extended to quantum collisions to derive a relation between the phase and dwell time delays in scattering. This relation can be used to remove the near threshold s-wave singularities…

Although the group delay of classical pulses through a barrier may suggest superluminality, the information transfer is limited by the precursor which propagates at the vacuum light speed. Single photons, however, have infinite tails, and…

Experiments with evanescent modes and tunneling particles have shown that i) their signal velocity may be faster than light, ii) they are described by virtual particles, iii) they are nonlocal and act at a distance, iv) experimental…

The Salecker-Wigner-Peres (SWP) clock is often used to determine the duration a quantum particle is supposed to spend is a specified region of space $\Om$. By construction, the result is a real positive number, and the method seems to avoid…

For the wave representing particle traveling through any layer system we calculate appropriate phase shifts comparing two methods. One bases on the standard scattering theory and is well known another uses unimodular but not unitary…

The question in the title may be answered by considering the outcome of a ``weak measurement'' in the sense of Aharonov et al. Various properties of the resulting time are discussed, including its close relation to the Larmor times. It is a…

We show that it is impossible to determine the time a tunneling particle spends under the barrier. However, it is possible to determine the asymptotic time, i.e., the time the particle spends in a large area including the barrier. We…
