Unified time analysis of photon and particle tunnelling

VS Olkhovsky, E Recami, J Jakiel - Physics Reports, 2004 - Elsevier
A unified time analysis of photon and nonrelativistic particle tunnellings is presented, in
which time is regarded as a quantum observable, canonically conjugated to energy. Within …

Superluminal motions? A bird's-eye view of the experimental situation

E Recami - Foundations of Physics, 2001 - Springer
In this article, after a theoretical introduction and a sketch of some related long-standing
predictions, a bird's-eye view is presented—with the help of nine figures—of the various …

Superluminal tunneling through two successive barriers

VS Olkhovsky, E Recami, G Salesi - Europhysics Letters, 2002 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the phenomenon of one-dimensional non-resonant tunneling through two
successive (opaque) potential barriers, separated by an intermediate free region Script R, by …

Times of arrival and gauge invariance

S Das, M Nöth - Proceedings of the Royal Society A, 2021 - royalsocietypublishing.org
We revisit the arguments underlying two well-known arrival-time distributions in quantum
mechanics, viz., the Aharonov–Bohm–Kijowski (ABK) distribution, applicable for freely …

Propagation speed of evanescent modes

APL Barbero, HE Hernández-Figueroa, E Recami - Physical Review E, 2000 - APS
The group velocity of evanescent waves (in undersized waveguides, for instance) was
theoretically predicted, and has been experimentally verified, to be superluminal (vg> c). By …

Non‐Hermitian Hartman Effect

S Longhi - Annalen der Physik, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
The Hartman effect refers to the rather paradoxical result that the time spent by a quantum
mechanical particle or a photon to tunnel through an opaque potential barrier becomes …

On the localized superluminal solutions to the Maxwell equations

E Recami, M Zamboni-Rached… - IEEE Journal of …, 2003 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The various experimental sectors of physics in which superluminal motions seem to appear
are briefly mentioned. In particular, a bird's-eye view is presented of the experiments with …

The Hartman effect in graphene

Z Wu, K Chang, JT Liu, XJ Li, KS Chan - Journal of Applied Physics, 2009 - pubs.aip.org
We investigate theoretically the Hartman effect in quantum tunneling through single and
double barriers in a single graphene layer. The numerical results indicate that the Hartman …

Time as a quantum observable

VS Olkhovsky, E Recami - International Journal of Modern Physics …, 2007 - World Scientific
Some new results are presented and recent developments are reviewed on the study of
Time in quantum physics as an observable, canonically conjugate to energy. Operators for …

Resonant and non-resonant tunneling through a double barrier

VS Olkhovsky, E Recami, AK Zaichenko - Europhysics Letters, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
An explicit expression is obtained for the phase-time corresponding to tunneling of a (non-
relativistic) particle through two rectangular barriers, both in the case of resonant and in the …
