Tunneling in Polymer Quantization and the Quantum Zeno Effect
(Elsevier Ltd., 2014) Demir, Durmuş Ali; Sargın, Ozan
As an application of the polymer quantization scheme, in this work we investigate the one-dimensional quantum mechanical tunneling phenomenon from the perspective of polymer representation of a non-relativistic point particle and derive the transmission and reflection coefficients. Since any tunneling phenomenon inevitably evokes a tunneling time, we attempt an analytical calculation of tunneling times by defining an operator well suited in discrete spatial geometry. The results that we come up with hint at appearance of the Quantum Zeno Effect in polymer framework.
