In quantum mechanics, the rectangular (or, at times, square) potential barrier is a standard one-dimensional problem that demonstrates the phenomena of wave-mechanical tunneling (also called "quantum tunneling") and wave-mechanical reflection. The problem consists of solving the one-dimensional time-independent Schrödinger equation for a particle encountering a rectangular potential energy barrier. It is usually assumed, as here, that a free particle impinges on the barrier from the left. Although classically a particle behaving as a point mass would be reflected if its energy is less than , a particle actually behaving as a matter wave has a non-zero probability of penetrating the barrier and continuing its travel as a wave on the other side. In classical wave-physics, this effect is known as evanescent wave coupling. The likelihood that the particle will pass through the barrier is given by the transmission coefficient, whereas the likelihood that it is reflected is given by the reflection coefficient. Schrödinger's wave-equation allows these coefficients to be calculated. (Wikipedia).
The Quantum Barrier Potential Part 1: Quantum Tunneling
Now that we've covered the particle in a box, we are familiar with the concept of a quantum problem. Let's move on to our second quantum problem, that of the quantum barrier potential. With this one, we don't have an infinite square well containing a particle, we have a free particle that
