Techniques and applications of quantum theory

Quantum theory, often known as quantum physics, is the foundation of modern physics and encompasses the nature and behavior of matter and energy at the atomic and molecular levels. As the exact nature and behavior of atomic and subatomic particles are impossible to determine, the laws of classical physics do not apply to this discipline. As a result, quantum field theory is primarily based on assumptions and probabilities.

Question

JC-39) Tunneling of Protons and Electrons
Given the same particle energy and barrier height and width, which would tunnel more
readily: a proton or an electron? Is this consistent with the usual rule of thumb governing whether
classical or nonclassical behavior should prevail?
