A new gauge‐invariant many‐electron approach is given to the problem of tunneling in condensed systems, based on a Hamiltonian in the representation of scattering states for tunnel junctions with arbitrary strength of coupling. The kinetic equation for the electron density matrix is derived; collision integrals for the cases of electron‐electron, electron‐phonon, and electron‐impurity interactions are found. The noise properties of tunnel contacts of normal metals are analysed.
