TLDR
In this article, the authors review the history of tunneling times starting with the early work of MacColl, Hartman, and Wigner and show how this new understanding along with the concept of energy storage and release resolves all the outstanding tunneling time paradoxes.

Nonperturbative theory of weak pre- and post-selected measurements

TL;DR: In this paper, a nonperturbative theory of weak PPS measurements of an arbitrary system with an arbitrary meter, for arbitrary initial states of the system and the meter, is presented.

Terahertz Josephson plasma waves in layered superconductors: spectrum, generation, nonlinear and quantum phenomena

TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of linear and nonlinear THz and sub-THz Josephson plasma waves in layered superconductors and their excitations produced by moving Josephson vortices is reviewed.

Tracing and controlling electronic dynamics in atoms and molecules by attosecond pulses

TL;DR: In this paper, the main theoretical methods and concepts in strong field and attosecond physics were reviewed, and a number of topics including generation of xuv light sources, the probe and steering of the electron motion in the combination of XUV and IR pulses, the photoionization time delay, the electron-electron correlation dynamics in multiple-electRON atoms and molecules, etc.

Hartman effect for spin waves in exchange regime.

TL;DR: The formula for group delay τgr of a spin wave packet is derived and it is shown that τgr saturates with increasing barrier width, which is a signature of the Hartman effect predicted earlier for photonic and electronic systems.

Foundations for microwave engineering

TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-modelling architecture for waveguiding systems that automates the very labor-intensive and therefore time-heavy and expensive process of designing and installingWaveguiding Systems.

Measurement of subpicosecond time intervals between two photons by interference.

TL;DR: A fourth-order interference technique has been used to measure the time intervals between two photons, and by implication the length of the photon wave packet, produced in the process of parametric down-conversion.

Resonant tunneling in semiconductor double barriers

TL;DR: In this article, a double-barrier structure with a thin GaAs sandwiched between two GaAlas barriers has been shown to have resonance in the tunneling current at voltages near the quasistationary states of the potential well.

Lower Limit for the Energy Derivative of the Scattering Phase Shift

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the derivative of the scattering phase shift with respect to energy, dn/dE, must exceed a certain limit if the interaction of scattered particle and scatterer vanishes beyond a certain distance.
