摘要

      A clear consensus on how long it takes a particle to tunnel through a potential barrier has never been so urgently required, due to the attoscecond time resolution in strong-field ionization experiments. A naïve quantum travel time is introduced by the ratio of the travel distance to the expected value of the velocity operator under the barrier. The validity of this definition is checked by considering the analytical solvable mode, rectangular barrier tunneling. In the case of attoclock experiment, the tunneling delay time could be interpreted as a travel time spent by the electron to tunnel from a point under the barrier to the tunnel exit. In addition, a peculiar oscillation structure in the wavelength dependent tunneling delay time in deep tunneling regime is predicted, which is beyond the scope of adiabatic tunneling picture. This oscillation structure can be attributed to the interference between the ground state tunneling channel and the excited states tunneling channels.
