In the current theory, neutrino oscillations require non-vanishing masses of the neutrinos. By analogy with the oscillation of quantum two-state system, we assume that neutrino oscillations may be regarded as quantum tunneling process. The difference of the quantum numbers between two neutrinos may be regarded as a barrier between them. Thus neutrinos with vanishing mass can also oscillate. The hypothesis can also be applied to the oscillations of charged leptons, quarks, neutral mesons, as well as electroweak mixing.
