Comparison of calculation methods for the tunnel splitting at excited states of biaxial spin models

Cui Xiao-Bo, Zhide Chen

We present the calculation and comparison of tunnel splitting at excited levels of biaxial spin models by various methods, including the generalized instanton method, the generalized path integral method for coherent spin states, the perturbation method and the exact method by numerical diagonalization of the Hamiltonian. It is found that, for integer spin with spin number around 10, tunnel splitting predicted by the generalized path integral for coherent spin states is about 10 − n times of the exact numerical result for the n th excited level, while the ratio of the results of the perturbation method and the exact numerical method diverges in the large spin limit. We thus conclude that the generalized instanton method is the best approximate way for calculating tunnel splitting in spin models.

Tunneling and quantum localization in chaos‐driven symmetric triple well potential: An approach using quantum theory of motion

Susmita Kar, Pratim Kumar Chattaraj

Abstract For a symmetric triple well potential, driven by the forces associated with the bifurcation diagram of a logistic map, the tunneling and quantum localization are studied using quantum theory of motion and time‐dependent Fourier grid Hamiltonian methods. Detailed analysis reveals that application of only asymmetric or symmetric perturbation results into either quantum localization or over‐barrier transition and no tunneling while application of mixed symmetry perturbation gives either tunneling or over‐barrier transition, depending on temporal nature and initial position of the particle. For bifurcative and chaotic symmetric‐asymmetric perturbation, with truncation of mixed symmetry perturbation, a sudden jump in energy causes a transition from the tunneling phenomenon to the over‐barrier transition. With particle located initially near to either of the minima of the unperturbed well, quantum localization, or over‐barrier transition is observed, depending on types of perturbation used.

Tunneling time in driven double‐well system using entangled molecular dynamics method

Feng Xu

Abstract We calculate quantum tunneling time in the double‐well system without perturbation and with symmetry‐breaking driven force using the entangled trajectory molecular dynamics method in the present article. Without perturbation, quantum tunneling time decreased with the increase of the energy, and the different contributions of the barrier traversal time and the intrinsic decay time have been shown. The tunneling time dependence on the amplitude and frequency of the symmetry‐breaking driven force are present. In the case of weak driven force, tunneling time has a minimum value in the resonant frequency. For strong driven force, chaos brings a huge change to quantum dynamics, tunneling time significantly becomes short. Finally, we directly show the enhancement of quantum tunneling process by chaotic behavior of entangled trajectories and indicate that it was caused by quantum effect.
