The question of how long a particle takes to tunnel through a potential barrier has sparked a long-standing debate since the early days of quantum mechanics. To solve this problem, scientists have proposed and demonstrated a novel attosecond-scale streaking method to accurately determine the tunneling time of an electron from an atom.
