Quantum tunneling and the speed of the light



A simulation of a wave packet incident on a potential barrier. In relative units, the barrier energy is 20, greater than the mean wave packet energy of 14. A portion of the wave packet passes through the barrier. (Wikipedia, quantum tunneling)


Quantum tunneling is the effect that means that the radiation goes through the wall. The wave movement is acting like a soundwave that is facing the wall. As you can see from the animation over this text, the wave movement is turning shorter when the wave movement is closing the wall. The idea is that the quantum field is acting like the soundwave. But the most remarkable thing is a similar effect is visible when the energy of the particles. 

The idea is that every kind of radiation has particle and wave movement forms. That is forming the radiation is decreasing the wavelength of the radiation is turning shorter. So the highest energetic radiation that is called gamma rays has more energy load than the lowest energetic radio waves, which have extremely long wavelengths. Somebody has introduced the idea that simply by pushing the waves of gamma-rays straight is possible to cross the cosmic speed limit. 

That means that by using nanotubes can be possible to push or press the wave movement of gamma-rays straight. But making that thing in the real life is not so easy thing. The idea is that the gamma-rays will conduct to the nanotubes, and press from sides by using gamma-rays, what mission is to push the gamma-rays straight. So in this case researchers could benefit from tunneling- and the similar effect, that is making the acoustic beams possible.

The quantum version of the long-range acoustic devices (LRAD) can make the X-ray laser possible.  In the quantum LRAD-system, the loudspeakers are used for making the sound beam is replaced by using x-ray tubes or gamma-ray sources. The fact is that X-rays are easier to produce than gamma rays. But the fact is that those systems are otherwise similar. 

 But the problem is that the air molecules that are used in the LRAD-system for creating the sound beam must be replaced by using the subatomic particles. The easier way is to use X-rays in that process. The X-rays would shoot through the ring, where is X-ray tubes. 

And those X-ray tubes will send the radiation, that turns the X-rays, that is traveling through the frame to coherent. The fact is that this kind of system can be used as the replacers of photon rockets. But they can be the next-generation tools for the military and civil systems.
