In this revised and expanded edition, in addition to a
comprehensible introduction to the theoretical foundations of
quantum tunneling based on different methods of formulating and
solving tunneling problems, different semiclassical approximations
for multidimensional systems are presented. Particular attention is
given to the tunneling of composite systems, with examples taken
from molecular tunneling and also from nuclear reactions. The
interesting and puzzling features of tunneling times are given
extensive coverage, and the possibility of measurement of these
times with quantum clocks are critically examined.In addition, by
considering the analogy between evanescent waves in waveguides and
in quantum tunneling, the times related to electromagnetic wave
propagation have been used to explain certain aspects of quantum
tunneling times. These topics are treated in both non-relativistic
as well as relativistic regimes. Finally, a large number of
examples of tunneling in atomic, molecular, condensed matter and
nuclear physics are presented and solved.
