Dissipative tunneling in presence of classical chaos in a mixed quantum-classical system

Abstract

We consider the tunneling of a wave packet through a potential barrier which is coupled to a nonintegrable classical system and study the interplay of classical chaos and dissipation in the tunneling dynamics. We show that chaos-assisted tunneling is further enhanced by dissipation, while tunneling is suppressed by dissipation when the classical subsystem is regular.
