Interference mechanism of seemingly superluminal tunneling

D. Sokolovski, Elena V. Akhmatskaya

Published May 8, 2013• 6 citations

Abstract

Apparently ``superluminal'' transmission, e.g., in quantum tunneling and its variants, occurs via a subtle interference mechanism which allows reconstruction of the entire spatial shape of a wave packet from its front tail. It is unlikely that the effect could be described adequately in simpler terms.

Superoscillations and tunneling times

Yakir Aharonov, Noam Erez A, Benni Reznik

It is proposed that superoscillations play an important role in the interferences that give rise to superluminal effects. To exemplify that, we consider a toy model that a wave packet to travel in zero time and negligible distortion, a distance arbitrarily larger than the width of the wave packet. The peak is shown to result from a superoscillatory superposition at the tail. Similar reasoning applies to the dwell time.

Reshaping, path uncertainty, and superluminal traveling

Wang Yun-ping, Zhang Dian-lin

It is shown that when the wave packet of a photon passes through a region where more than one path mode can be chosen, the interference between these modes of the probability waves of the photon causes a reshaping process of the wave packet. In some conditions this reshaping gives rise to an apparent superluminal traveling, as observed by Steinberg, Kwiat, and Chiao [Phys. Rev. Lett. 71, 708 (1993)]. The present model also leads to some predictions that can be tested experimentally.

Quantum Optical Studies of Tunneling and other Superluminal Phenomena

R. Y. Chiao, Aephraim M. Steinberg

Experiments at Berkeley and elsewhere which show that the process of tunneling is apparently superluminal will be reviewed. Conflicting theories for the tunneling time will be compared with experiment. The tunneling particle in the Berkeley experiments was the photon. The measurement of the tunneling time utilized a two-photon light source (spontaneous parametric down-conversion), a Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometer, and a coincidence counter of photon pairs. The tunnel barrier consisted of a photonic-bandgap medium excited at midgap. We find that the peak of a tunneling single-photon wave packet appeared on the far side of the barrier 1.47 ± 0.21 fs earlier than the peak of a wave packet which traveled an equal distance in air. Group velocities which exceed c can also occur in transparent media with inverted atomic populations. Tachyon-like excitations, i.e., collective normal modes of atoms coupled to electromagnetic radiation which possess tachyon-like dispersion relations, occur in these media. However, relativistic causality is not violated by any of these superluminal phenomena.

Superluminal delays of coherent pulses in nondissipative media: A universal mechanism

Yonathan Japha, Gershon Kurizki

We identify the universal mechanism that is responsible for superluminal (faster-than-light) traversal times as well as the narrowing of wave packets transmitted through various nondissipative media. This mechanism is shown to be predominantly destructive interference between successive wave-packet components traversing all accessible causally retarded paths. It strongly depends on wave-packet coherence and width, and can cause superluminal traversal not only in evanescent-wave ``tunneling'' but also in allowed propagation. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

^'Superluminal^' Tunnelling as a Quantum Measurement Effect^

D. Sokolovski, ALFRED Z. MSEZANE, Vasily R. Shaginyan

We exploit the analogy between tunnelling across a potential barrier and Aharonov's weak measurements to resolve the long standing paradox between the impossibility to exceed the speed of light and the seemingly 'superluminal' behaviur of the tunnelling particle in the barrier. We demonstrate that 'superluminality' occurs when the value of the duration $\\tau$ spent in the barrier is uncertain, whereas when $\\tau$ is known accurately, no 'superluminal' behaviur is observed. In all cases only subluminal durations contribute to the transmission across the barrier.
