摘要
Quantum transient currents are obtained after the sudden release of a particle initially confined in a nanoscopic circuit. We extend the 1D theory of diffraction in time to particles released from nanoscopic circuits with cylindrical cross-sections. For a circular cross-section, the particle's free time evolution is described by cylindrical waves with their amplitudes showing diffraction in time. For large observation distances, the time-dependent probability density current looks similar to the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern by a circular aperture. A temporal quantum Airy disk can be defined.
