- Quantum tunneling
quantum tunneling A quantum mechanical effect in which particles have a finite probability of crossing an energy barrier, such as the energy needed to break a bond with another particle, even though the particle’s energy is less than the energy barrier. Quantum tunneling has no counterpart in classical mechanics, in which a particle can never […]
