Salecker-Wigner-Peres quantum clock applied to strong-field tunnel ionization
arXiv:1608.02854
Abstract
The Salecker-Wigner-Peres quantum-clock approach is applied in order to determine the tunneling time of an electron in strong-field tunnel ionization via a time-dependent electric field. Our results show that the ionization of the electron takes a nonvanishing period of time. This tunneling time is of the order of the Keldysh time but strictly larger than the Keldysh time. Comparing the quantum-clock tunneling time to the mean tunneling time as obtained by the virtual-detector approach, one finds that these two complementary methods give very similar results. Due to the asymmetric distribution of the tunneling time, there is a nonnegligible discrepancy between the mean tunneling time and the most probable tunneling time.
