If an ensemble of quantum partcles, with energy E, traveling in x direction encounter a very wide potential barrier V0 > E, the ensemble wavefunction will exponentially decay within the barrier.
I thought that meant that there was a small probability of detecting an electron within the barrier. But the reflection coefficient of the probability current is unity. So what’s going on here?
