What Are the Challenges in Studying Quantum Tunneling in Catalysis?
Studying quantum tunneling in catalysis is challenging due to the complex nature of chemical reactions and the difficulty in measuring tunneling phenomena directly. Advanced computational methods, like density functional theory (DFT) and quantum molecular dynamics, are often required to model these processes. Additionally, experimental techniques such as scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) can provide insights into tunneling events at the atomic level.
