CONTRADICTIONS<br />
Much success has been achieved with the length gauge in general and<br />
tunneling ionization in particular, but according to what has been<br />
shown, the length gauge contradicts the result that the physical gauge<br />
is that gauge where transverse fields (laser fields) are represented by<br />
vector potentials A.<br />
Since tunneling ionization employs a non-physical gauge, “laboratory<br />
measurables” will be predicted correctly, but there should exist physical<br />
inconsistencies such as the failure of energy conservation in the classical<br />
static field example.<br />
What are the contradictions<br />
associated with tunneling?<br />
