Dissipative tunneling through a parabolic potential in the Lindblad theory of open quantum systems

Quantum Physics 2009-11-13 v1

Abstract

By using the Lindblad theory for open quantum systems, an analytical expression of the tunneling probability through an inverted parabola is obtained. This penetration probability depends on the environment coefficients. It is shown that the tunneling probability increases with the dissipation and the temperature of the thermal bath.
