#### 7.7: Quantum Tunneling of Particles through Potential

Nov 02, 2016 Tunneling and the Wavfunction. Suppose a uniform and time-independent beam of electrons or other quantum particles with energy $$E$$ traveling along the x-axis (in the positive direction to the right) encounters a potential barrier described by Equation \ref{PIBPotential}.The question is: What is the probability that an individual particle in the beam will tunnel through the potential barrier?

A low tunneling probability T<<1 corresponds to a wide, tall barrier,,and in this limit, the transmission coefficient simplifies to . The key point is that the transmission probability decays exponentially with barrier width (beyond the tunneling length) and also exponentially with the square root of the energy to the barrier since: Figure 3.

#### Quantum Tunneling Brilliant Math & Science Wiki

Quantum tunneling refers to the nonzero probability that a particle in quantum mechanics can be measured to be in a state that is forbidden in classical mechanics. Quantum tunneling occurs because there exists a nontrivial solution to the Schrödinger equation in a classically forbidden region, which corresponds to the exponential decay of the magnitude of the wavefunction.
