• Abstract: For the relativistic tunneling effect described using Dirac's equation, in [Phys. Rev. A 70, 052112 (2004)] the authors presented the deduction of a general result that allows for the determination of the phase time (group delay) as the sum of the particle dwell time inside a potential barrier and of the self-interference delay associated with the incident and reflected wave functions interaction. In this article, a mathematical model is derived through a construction analogous to the proposal mentioned above, but based on an alternative representation for Dirac's equation. This representation is similar to the one introduced in [Found. Phys. 45, 1586 (2015)]. Thus, from the application of this model in the study of the tunneling effect in the absence of an external magnetic field, the influence of spin on the tunneling times is described. More specifically, the tunneling time is obtained as the sum of the dwell times inside the potential barrier for particles with spin up and spin down and the self-interaction time associated with the incident and reflected wave functions for particles with spin up.

  We report on an emergent mechanism for pumping in a quantum gas coupled to an optical resonator. Due to dissipation, the cavity field evolves between its two quadratures, each corresponding to a different centrosymmetric crystal configuration. This self-oscillation results in a time-periodic potential analogous to that describing the transport of electrons in topological tight-binding models.

  We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit. We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
