Quantum tunneling is a microscopic phenomenon where a particle can penetrate a
potential barrier. This graduate textbook presents the basic results and methods
of quantum tunneling, such as Heisenberg's equations of motion and the Wigner
distribution function, without concentrating on any particular application.
