Resonance Enhanced Tunneling
نویسنده
چکیده
Time evolution of tunneling in thermal medium is examined using the real-time semiclassical formalism previously developed. Effect of anharmonic terms in the potential well is shown to give a new mechanism of resonance enhanced tunneling. If the friction from environment is small enough, this mechanism may give a very large enhancement for the tunneling rate. The case of the asymmetric wine bottle potential is worked out in detail.

Experimental Observation of Resonance-Assisted Tunneling.
We present the first experimental observation of resonance-assisted tunneling, a wave phenomenon, where regular-to-chaotic tunneling is strongly enhanced by the presence of a classical nonlinear resonance chain. For this we use a microwave cavity made of oxygen free copper with the shape of a desymmetrized cosine billiard designed with a large nonlinear resonance chain in the regular region. It...
متن کاملMapping of Euclidean Resonance on Static Resonant Tunneling
Quantum tunneling through an almost classical potential barrier can be strongly enhanced by a nonstationary field so that the penetration through the barrier becomes not exponentially small. This constitutes an extremely unusual phenomenon of quantum physics called Euclidean resonance. A certain nonstationary barrier is proposed with a very low WKB tunneling rate. The quantum dynamics of this b...

In this paper, the electronic conductance of a polyacetylene polymer embedded between two simple chains is studied by using transfer matrix method within the tight-binding and first neighbor approach. Also, by adding benzene molecules to polyacetylene we obtain the system conductance in its conversion to polystyrene polymer. The results show that as the number of benzene molecules in the middle...
متن کاملQuantum tunneling and stochastic resonance.
Stochastic resonance ~SR! occurs in nonlinear dynamical systems when the response to a weak coherent input is enhanced by the presence of noise. While classical SR presently is an intensely studied phenomenon, the role of quantum fluctuations has only started to be explored. We study SR in the temperature range where quantum tunneling corrections to the classical rate of activation are relevant...
متن کاملTunneling Phenomena in Cosmology: Some Fundamental Problems
The fundamental problem of how tunneling in thermal medium is completed is addressed, and a new time scale of order 1/friction for its termination, which is usually much shorter than the Hubble time, is pointed out. Enhanced non-linear resonance is responsible for this short time scale. This phenomenon occurs when the semiclassical periodic motion in a metastable potential well resonates with o...
