← ScienceWhat consequence occurs when a particle's wavefunction exhibits superposition between spatially separated potential wells?
A)Quantum tunneling between potential wells✓
B)Increased localization within single well
C)Wavefunction collapses to single eigenstate
D)Suppressed barrier penetration probability
💡 Explanation
Quantum tunneling mediates the particle's passage across the barrier because of the probability amplitude of the particle existing in classically forbidden regions; therefore, quantum tunneling between the potential wells is observed rather than complete confinement, because the superposition state allows barrier penetration.
