Comment on “Quantum tunneling time”
G. E. Hahne
In this Comment on the paper by ], it is pointed out that (i) a group-theoretical argument advanced in the first part of their derivation is both flawed and not needed in what follows, (ii) they then assert a formula that leads to a physically incorrect phase (as distinguished from group) delay time in the motion of a free particle, and (iii) their subsequent derivation contains a mathematical error, such that the outcome is a new formula for the tunneling time that avoids the second problem, but such that the result is unfounded and is therefore of unknown physical content.
