A Probability Distribution for Quantum Tunneling Times

Figure 3

Top: the stationary transmission clock time (blue) and the wave number distribution (orange, dashed, and arbitrary scale), for , , , and ), with the initial state given by (18). Bottom: close view of the above plot for small times. The vertical grey lines in the plots correspond to and . The regions in which (around the local maximum and minimum of ) correspond to times and Rydberg atomic units were used in all the plots.
