← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when an electron's wave function overlaps two potential wells?
A)Quantum tunneling becomes more probable✓
B)Electron spin becomes strongly correlated
C)Energy levels become sharply quantized
D)Heisenberg uncertainty dominates momentum
💡 Explanation
Increased wave function overlap between potential wells amplifies **quantum tunneling** enabling the electron to pass through the barrier because the probability amplitude increases at the second well; therefore, tunneling increases, rather than correlation effects quantum coherence.
