The collective name for such rare quantum events is "tunneling": for the particle to escape, it has to "dig a tunnel" through ...

The universe could end not with a bang, but a whimper known as “false vacuum decay.” In a new study, scientists leveraged the ...

Quantum Tunneling can now be explained by the very small amplitude of the electron wave that moves past the energy barrier. The presence of some of the wave on the other side of the barrier ...

In a groundbreaking use of teleportation, critical units of a quantum processor have been successfully spread across multiple ...

Hoover Damned The existence of the quantum realm holds terrifying implications, insinuating so much uncertainty into our ...

Unlock the secrets of the universe with quantum experiments. Discover the breakthrough in quantum physics that may shape our ...

(Image: Butsurin Jinnai and Shunsuke Fukami, Tohoku University) The key phenomenon that enables the operation of tunnel junctions is quantum tunneling. In classical physics, an electron with ...

Definition: Quantum Tunneling Effect is a quantum mechanical process where particles penetrate through a barrier that they classically would not be able to cross. This intriguing phenomenon plays a ...

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 ...

Physicists have performed a simulation they say sheds new light on an elusive phenomenon that could determine the ultimate ...

In my previous article, I have briefly introduced the physics of the quantum tunneling behavior in NeoPUF. In this article, I will explain, in detail, the quantum-tunneling mechanism in the gate oxide ...
