Tunneling through Coulombic barriers: quantum control of nuclear fusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
A general coherent control scheme for speeding up quantum tunneling of proton transfer through Coulombic barriers is analysed. The quantum control scenario is based on repetitive electron impact ionization pulses that affect the ensuing interference phenomena responsible for quantum dynamics and force the proton to tunnel into classically forbidden regions of configuration space. The scheme is demonstrated for the simplest model of nuclear fusion, hinting at the possible enhancement of reactive scattering based on low energy collisions.

متن کاملTunneling of a composite object
The phenomenon of quantum tunneling is relevant in different areas of physics, from chemical reactions to nuclear fission and fusion below the Coulomb barrier. In most of the cases one has to deal with the tunneling of a complex object with internal degrees of freedom. In a one-dimensional model we investigate how an harmonically bound two-body system tunnels through an external gaussian barrie...
