About

Tunneling is a quantum mechanical phenomenon describing the non-zero probability that a particle can pass through a potential energy barrier, even when its kinetic energy is less than the classical energy required to surmount the barrier. This concept is fundamental in quantum physics and nuclear astrophysics, investigating the likelihood of reactions and transitions in systems where particles interact at energies below classical thresholds, such as the nuclear fusion processes occurring in stars.
