Abstract
The tunneling process, one of the most striking and seemingly well-understood features of quantum mechanics has been the subject of a controversy almost since the dawn of modern physics. In recent years, new theory and the first experimental tests have begun to address the question of how long tunneling actually takes. Although these results have provoked some astounding claims of faster-than-light communication, relativistic causality in fact escapes safe and sound.
