Description
Although tunneling is usually taught in the first lecture course on quantum mechanics, our understanding is still far from complete -- especially in time-dependent scenarios. We consider the enhancement (or suppression) of tunneling through a potential barrier by an additional time-dependent electric field. As a prominent example, we apply our findings to the enhancement of nuclear fusion by a x-ray free electron laser (XFEL) field.
