Quantum Tunneling

Quantum Tunneling is a quantum mechanical phenomenon in which a particle penetrates a potential energy barrier higher than the particle's total energy, thereby enabling transition through a classically forbidden region due to the non-zero probability of its wavefunction existing beyond the barrier.
