Abstract
Our study shows that an evanescent electron wave exists outside both finite and infinite quantum wells, by solving exact solutions of the Dirac equation in a cylindrical quantum well and maintaining wavefunction continuity at the boundary. Furthermore, we have derived analytical expressions of the current density to demonstrate that the evanescent wave spins concurrently with the wave inside the quantum well. Our findings suggest that it is possible to probe or eavesdrop on quantum spin information through the evanescent wave spin without destroying the entire spin state. The wave spin picture interprets spin as a global and deterministic property of the electron wave that includes both the evanescent and confined wavefunctions. This suggests that a quantum process or device based on the manipulation and probing of the electron wave spin is deterministic in nature rather than probabilistic.
