When an electric field is applied, the electrons move from an energetically higher lying potential well to an energetically lower lying potential well via the quantum
mechanical tunneling effect.
Thus the lighter helium isotope is, as it were, outside of the bowl but, due to the quantum
mechanical tunnel effect, it still «notices» the atoms in the bowl and can not simply fly away.»
