On the concept of the tunneling time
M. S. Marinov, Bilha Segev
Abstract
Asymptotic time evolution of a wave packet describing a non-relativistic particle incident on a potential barrier is considered, using the Wigner phase-space distribution. The distortion of the trasmitted wave packet is determined by two time-like parameters, given by the energy derivative of the complex transmission amplitude. The result is consistent with various definitions of the tunneling time (e.g. the Büttiker-Landauer time, the complex time and Wigner's phase time). The speed-up effect and the negative dispersion are discussed, and new experimental implications are considered.
