Abstract
Quantum tunneling of vortices in very clean type-II superconductors is shown to be governed by the Hall term in the equation of motion. An e ffective action determining the tunneling probability is calculated. I t is argued that high-temperature superconductors may belong to a clas s of very clean materials, and that they may have Hall tunneling at lo w temperatures.
