A Time Dependent Version of the Quantum WKB Approximation

Mathematical Physics 2010-02-03 v2 math.MP

Abstract

The phenomenon of quantum tunneling is reviewed and an overview of applying approximate methods for studying this effect is given. An approach to a time-dependent formalism is proposed in one dimension and generalized to higher dimensions. Some physical examples involving the resulting wavefunction which is determined are presented.
