Quantum tunneling through a dissipative barrier

Eliade N. Stefanescu, A. Sãndulescu, Paul E. Sterian

For a tunneling system we consider the coupling to the dissipative environment of the coordinate q, the momentum p and the potential function U(q). In the frame of the quantum theory of open systems we derive a quantum master equation, fundamental constraints and uncertainty relations. We obtain an analytical expression of the tunneling spectrum and show that at thermal equilibrium its shape entirely depends on the barrier characteristics while its amplitude is proportional to the strength of the dissipative coupling.

Generality of Plateau Spectrum in Multi-Dimensional Barrier Tunneling

Kin’ya Takahashi, Kensuke S. Ikeda

The formation of the plateau spectrum is a manifestation of the classical unstable manifold in multi-dimensional barrier tunneling, for which contributing tunneling trajectories are guided by the stable and unstable manifolds in the complex domain. In this paper, we numerically confirm that the plateau spectrum is generally observed for a wide class of multi-dimensional barrier potentials. The results of complex semiclassical analysis are also discussed.
