Tunnelling in Molecules: Nuclear Quantum Effects from Bio to Physical Chemistry

Quantum tunnelling is one of the strangest phenomena in chemistry, where we see the wave nature of atoms acting in "impossible" ways. By letting molecules pass through the kinetic barrier instead of over it, this effect can lead to chemical reactions even close to the absolute zero, to atypical spectroscopic observations, to bizarre selectivity, or to colossal isotopic effects. Quantum mechanical tunnelling observations might be infrequent in chemistry,...
