Tunneling in asymmetric double well: instanton calculus

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The level splitting formula of an asymmetric double well potential is calculated taking into account the multi-instanton contributions (dilute gas approximation). Results can be related with known semiclassical ones obtained with a truncated hamiltonian, and the symmetric case is easily recovered.
