The Potential Barrier, case: E ≤ V₀ - Tunneling
To conclude our study of tunneling, we glimpse at an approximation method we can use to calculate the probability of a particle tunneling through a potential we might encounter in the real world - where potentials are not simple square barriers.

  • Note at around 8:00 we can't simply say we can add the exponents. We can only do this here because V(x) commutes with itself

  • very nice and clear explanation! keep up with the good job!

  • You are awesome. I am your biggest fan.

  • fucking wkb approximation

  • oversmart WKB Approzimation..... What is this?.

  • Superb!

  • I wish my quantum mechanics professor had your energy and enthusiasm! Keep it up! Great video.

  • Excellent video!

    Thanks for posting!
