Quantum mechanical tunnelling

I'm TOTALLY ignorant on anything quantum related. So I found this article pretty helpful in understanding the experiments that the scientist are using to observe quantum mechanical tunneling effects. I'm also impressed that they are able to get laser pulses that are a fraction of a billionth of a second long.
