FAMOUS BARON VON Munchausen saved himself from a swamp pulling
his hairs by his own hands. According to classical physics, such
a feat seems to be impossible. However, we live in a quantum world. In
a tunneling of a charged particle, the head of the particle wave function can send
a
photon to the tail which absorbs this photon and penetrates the barrier
with enhanced probability. We calculated this effect which leads to increase
of tunneling amplitude.
