摘要：

With the development of attosecond science, tunneling time can now be measured experimentally with the attoclock technique. However, there are many different theoretical definitions of tunneling time and no consensus has been achieved. Here, we bridge the relationship between different definitions of tunneling time based on a quantum travel time in one-dimensional rectangular barrier tunneling problem. We find that the real quantum travel time tRe is equal to the Bohmian time tBohmian, which is related to the resonance lifetime of a bound state. The total quantum travel time τt can perfectly retrieve the transversal time tx and the Büttiker-Landauer time τBL in two opposite limits, regardless of the particle energy.

We find that the real quantum travel time tRe is equal to the Bohmian time tBohmian, which is related to the resonance lifetime of a bound state. The total quantum travel time τt can perfectly retrieve the transversal time tx and the Büttiker-Landauer time τBL in two opposite limits, regardless of the particle energy.
