Primes

• Half-Life

  • This sourceFirst application of quantum tunneling to nuclear alpha decay: explains how an alpha particle with energy below the Coulomb barrier can escape the nucleus via tunneling, with tunneling probability (and thus half-life) exponentially sensitive to barrier height and width; provides theoretical foundation for the Geiger-Nuttall law.

• Hidden Path and Barrier Crossing
  • George Gamow's 1928 explanation was one of the earliest quantum successes and remains the canonical example of barrier crossing via a hidden degree of freedom (the wavefunction).
