Tunneling and transversal of ultracold atoms through vacuum-induced potentials Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The propagation of a Gaussian wave packet of an excited two-level atom through a high-quality cavity that is initially empty was addressed. It was found that tunneling time depends on the coherent addition of transmission amplitudes through a barrier and a well.
