Quantum-classical correspondence and arrival times    [PDF]

S. V. Mousavi, S. Miret-Artés

Classical and quantum propagation of a non-Gaussian ensemble in the presence of a rectangular barrier is compared. A classical wave equation, initially proposed by N. Rosen [{\it{Am. J. Phys.}} {\bf 32} (1964) 377], is used to study the classical propagation. Mean arrival times at detector location are computed for different values of initial wave packet parameters and barrier width. One sees that both theories give the same result in the large mass limit.
