Tunneling in multidimensional wells
https://doi.org/10.17586/22208054201561113121
Abstract
A full asymptotic series for low eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a stationary Schr¨odinger operator with a nondegenerate well was constructed in [29]. This allowed us to describe the tunneling effect for a potential with two or more identical wells with sufficient accuracy. The procedure is described in the following discussion. Some formulae are obtained and corresponding problems are discussed.
