Visualizing hybridized quantum plasmons in coupled nanowires: From classical to tunneling regime

Classical trajectories and quantum tunneling

The problem of inter-band tunneling in a semiconductor (Zener breakdown) in a nonstationary and homogeneous electric field is solved exactly. Using the exact analytical solution, the approximation based on classical trajectories is studied. A new mechanism of enhanced tunneling through static non-onedimensional barriers is proposed in addition to well known normal tunneling solely described by ...

Measurement and Classical Regime in Quantum Mechanics

In this article, I shall focus on two of the main problems raising interpretational issues in quantum mechanics, namely the notorious measurement problem (discussed together with the theory of measurement in section 4) and the equally important but not quite as widely discussed problem of the classical regime (discussed together with decoherence in section 3). The two problems are distinct, but...

Classical solutions from quantum regime for barotropic FRW model

It is a general belief that the existence of an initial singularity can be remove through the employment of a quantum theory of gravity. However, there is no consistent theory of gravity until now, and in this sense the problem of the initial singularity remains of actuality. It is well known that is possible to construct a quantum model for the universe as a whole, through the Wheeler-DeWitt (...
