Phys. Rev. A 63, 012109 (2000) [6 pages]Semiclassical traversal time analysis of superluminal tunnelingSee Also: Erratum Received 4 February 2000; published 12 December 2000 In the limit ħ⃗0, a tunneling particle can be shown to follow classical trajectories which experience in the classically forbidden region a deep well rather than a potential barrier and, therefore, spend a very small amount of time there. Such trajectories interfere destructively. While the tunneling rate is small, the tunneling itself is very fast. © 2000 The American Physical Society URL:
