Invited Talk

Although quantum tunnelling has been studied since the inception of quantum mechanics, some aspects remain controversial, particularly the duration of tunnelling events. In a recent experiment [1], we investigate the quantum-mechanical motion of particles in a system of two coupled waveguide potentials, where population transfer between the waveguides acts as a clock, enabling the measurement...
