We study dissipative tunneling in a double well potential that is driven close to a resonance between the lowest tunnel doublet and a singlet. While the coherent dynamics can be described well within a three-level approximation, dissipative…
We consider tunneling through two point contacts between two edges of Quantum Hall liquids of different filling factors $\nu_{0,1}=1/ (2m_{0,1}+1)$ with $m_0-m_1\equiv m>0$. Properties of the antidot formed between the point contacts in the…

Tunneling from a two-dimensional contact into quantum-Hall edges is considered theoretically for a case where the barrier is extended, uniform, and parallel to the edge. In contrast to previously realized tunneling geometries, details of…

We examine the suppression of quantum beating in a one dimensional non- linear double well potential, made up of two focusing nonlinear point interactions. The investigation of the Schr\"odinger dynamics is reduced to the study of a system…
The resonant tunneling phenomenon is well understood in quantum mechanics. We argue why a similar phenomenon must be present in quantum field theory. We then use the functional Schr\"odinger method to show how resonant tunneling through…
We unravel the out-of-equilibrium quantum dynamics of a few interacting bosonic clouds in a two-dimensional asymmetric double-well potential at the resonant tunneling scenario. At the single-particle level of resonant tunneling, particles…

We consider the problem of minimizing the lowest eigenvalue of the Schr\"odinger operator $-\Delta+V$ in $L^2(\mathbb R^d)$ when the integral $\int e^{-tV}\,dx$ is given for some $t>0$. We show that the eigenvalue is minimal for the…
We study operators of Kramers-Fokker-Planck type in the semiclassical limit, assuming that the exponent of the associated Maxwellian is a Morse function with a finite number $n_0$ of local minima. Under suitable additional assumptions, we…
We show that the spectrum of a discrete two-dimensional periodic Schr\"odinger operator on a square lattice with a sufficiently small potential is an interval, provided the period is odd in at least one dimension. In general, we show that…
We give a lower estimate of the gap of the first two eigenvalues of the Schrodinger operator with a nonconvex potential in terms of a distance associated with the potential. The results here can be applied to the double well potential.
For Schr\"odinger operators on an interval with either convex or symmetric single-well potentials, and Robin or Neumann boundary conditions, the gap between the two lowest eigenvalues is minimised when the potential is constant. We also…
We apply the bosonization technique to the problem of tunneling in a Fermi liquid, and present a semiclassical theory of tunneling rates. To test the method, we derive and evaluate an expression for the tunneling current in the problem of…
We discuss the statistics of tunnelling rates in the presence of chaotic classical dynamics. This applies to resonance widths in chaotic metastable wells and to tunnelling splittings in chaotic symmetric double wells. The theory is based on…
