Abstract
We report on microwave measurements of barrier traversal time of electromagnetic wave packets in an undersized waveguide.
This time was significantly shorter than the ratio
L/c, with
L the barrier length and
c the velocity of light in vacuum. Consequently the transport velocity for the wave packet inside the barrier has to be superluminal,
i.e. larger than
c.
