Energy changes of a particle tunneling through a barrier

Hi everyone,

just wanting to know if anyone could help me out about particles tunnelling through square barriers with inital energy E<Vo.

Does the energy of the particle change as it tunnels through the square barrier?

Nope it does not change.

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
