A measurement of this kind could perhaps soon give an experimental answer to the question of whether a measurable tunneling time ... Professor at the Institute of Quantum Electronics at ETH ...

Although it would not get you past a brick wall and onto Platform 9¾ to catch the Hogwarts Express, quantum tunneling—in ... who is now at Technion–Israel Institute of Technology, agrees.

called quantum tunneling, is well documented, physicists haven't been able to figure out if it happens instantaneously or takes a given amount of time. Now a team from the Max Planck Institute for ...

no one has yet actually measured the tunneling of a single particle until now. Yutaka Shikano, who is an affiliated member of the Institute for Quantum Studies at Chapman and a research associate ...

Yet in some of these cases, such reactions do happen, thanks to quantum tunneling, which allows particles to occasionally bore through energy barriers they’d never be able to climb. This bizarre ...

The thinner barrier at the top promotes tunneling, but few particles have sufficient energy at these heights. In the early years of the 20th century, a new theory, quantum mechanics, revolutionized ...
