Examples of 'quantum tunnelling' in a sentence

Meaning of "quantum tunnelling"

Quantum tunnelling: A quantum mechanical phenomenon where a particle passes through a potential barrier that it classically cannot surmount. This is often used in the context of physics and explains the behaviour of particles at a subatomic level
