- Abstract: The average dwell time of an electron in a potential barrier formed by an
external electric field and the potential of a helium atom is evaluated within
a semi classical one-dimensional tunneling approach. The tunneling electron is
considered to interact with a nuclear charge screened by the electron in the
helium ion. It is found that screening leads to smaller average dwell times of
the tunneling electron. The dissipative effect of the environment on the
tunneling electron is taken into account within a semiclassical model involving
a velocity dependent frictional force and is found to change the average dwell
time significantly.

We develop the theory of elastic electron tunneling through a potential barrier driven by a strong high-frequency electromagnetic field.
It is demonstrated that the driven barrier can be considered as a stationary two-barrier potential.
When the energy of an incident electron coincides with the energy of the quasi-stationary state, the driven barrier becomes fully transparent for the electron.

Spin-bath interactions are strongly anisotropic, and rapid physical rotation has long been used in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance.
We show that the interaction between electron spins of nitrogen-vacancy centers and a bath of $13$C nuclear spins introduces decoherence into the system.
Our findings offer new insights into the use of physical rotation for quantum control with implications for quantum systems having motional and rotational degrees of freedom that are not fixed.
