Timeless Macroscopic Spaces

Guenter Nimtz, Horst Aichmann

We begin the Article with confusing citations in published papers on the question recently: how much time does a wave packet spend in a tunnelling barrier? ..a particle tunnelling…

Tunneling Violates Special Relativity

Guenter Nimtz

Experiments with evanescent modes and tunneling particles have shown that i) their signal velocity may be faster than light, ii) they are described by virtual particles, iii) they…

On virtual phonons, photons and electrons

G. Nimtz

A macroscopic realization of the strange virtual particles is presented. The classical Helmholtz and the quantum mechanical Schrödinger equations are analogous differential equatio…

Universal tunneling time for all fields

G. Nimtz, A. A. Stahlhofen

Tunneling is an important physical process. The observation that particles surmount a high mountain in spite of the fact that they don't have the necessary energy cannot be explain…

Macroscopic violation of special relativity

G. Nimtz, A. A. Stahlhofen

Feynman one of the founders of Quantum Electronic Dynamics (QED) introduced in his diagrams virtual particles as intermediate states of an interaction process. Such virtual particl…

Negative phase time for Scattering at Quantum Wells: A Microwave Analogy Experiment

R. -M. Vetter, A. Haibel, G. Nimtz

If a quantum mechanical particle is scattered by a potential well, the wave function of the particle can propagate with negative phase time. Due to the analogy of the Schrödinger a…
