’This will go into textbooks’: Queensland scientists clock quantum tunnelling

Queensland scientists heading up an international team have solved one of the great mysteries of quantum physics: the time it takes for a particle to pass through a barrier.

Known as “quantum tunnelling” it’s a phenomenon that sees subatomic particles pass through solid but thin barriers such as the wall of an atom.

“Nimtz and his coauthors have been investigating superliminal quantum tunneling since 1992.”

“Gunter Nimtz and colleagues claimed to have transmitted Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 at 4.7 times the speed of light through a tunneling barrier.” In 2008.

“We know that the test atom gives us zero delay, so all other delays can be calibrated in respect to that”

How do they know that?

It is what is suspected and without contradicting evidence?
