Quantum tunneling between two potential wells in a magnetic field can be strongly increased when the potential barrier varies in the direction perpendicular to the line connecting the two wells and remains constant along this line. A…
The semiclassical magnetic Neumann Schr\"odinger operator on a smooth, bounded, and simply connected domain $\Omega$ of the Euclidean plane is considered. When $\Omega$ has a symmetry axis, the semiclassical splitting of the first two…
Consider the semiclassical limit, as the Planck constant $\hbar\ri 0$, of bound states of a one-dimensional quantum particle in multiple potential wells separated by barriers. We show that, for each eigenvalue of the Schr\"odinger operator,…
A theory of transport in the quantum Hall regime is developed for separately contacted double-layer electron systems. Inter-layer tunneling provides a channel for equilibration of the distribution functions in the two layers and influences…
We propose to experimentally realize an odd parity eigenstate $\left\vert b\right\rangle $ of two atoms in the double well. The occupation probability of this state shows evident dependence on the interaction, distinct from the result of…
For one-dimensional Schroedinger operators with complex-valued potentials, we construct pseudomodes corresponding to large pseudoeigenvalues. Our (non-semi-classical) approach results in substantial progress in achieving optimal conditions…
We consider a particle bound to a two-dimensional plane and a double well potential, subject to a perpendicular uniform magnetic field . The energy difference between the lowest two eigenvalues--the eigenvalue splitting--is related to the…
We describe two-dimensional potential Schrodinger and Dirac operators which are finite-gap at one energy level and have singular spectral curves. It appears that the singularities can be rather complicated. Such Dirac operators appear as…
We present a self-consistent approach to describe ambipolar tunneling in asymmetrical double quantum wells under steady-state excitation and extend the results to the case of tunneling from a near-surface quantum well to surface states. The…
We show through a perturbative and an exact calculation using Wilson's renormalization methods that in the problem of two interacting Kondo impurities, on-site potential scattering generates a quantum-tunneling between the two impurities…
We have prepared two ultracold fermionic atoms in an isolated double-well potential and obtained full control over the quantum state of this system. In particular, we can independently control the interaction strength between the particles,…
A theory for the tunneling of one atom out of a trap containing two interacting cold atoms is developed. The quasiparticle wave function, dressed by the interaction with the companion atom in the trap, replaces the non-interacting orbital…
We investigate a two-dimensional Schr\"odinger operator, $-h^2 \Delta +iV(x)$, with a purely complex potential $iV(x)$. A rigorous definition of this non-selfadjoint operator is provided for bounded and unbounded domains with common…
In this work we consider PT-symmetric perturbations of a self-adjoint semi-classical Schr\"odinger operator on the real axis in the case of a simple potential well. We assume that the potential is analytic and show that the eigenvalues…
The connection between scarring and tunneling in chaotic double-well potentials is studied in detail through the distribution of level splittings. The mean level splitting is found to have oscillations as a function of energy, as expected…

We identify the physics behind the results of recent measurements [W. Kang et al., Nature 403, 59 (2000)] of electron transfer between the edges of two two-dimensional electron systems (2DES). We find that a consistent explanation of all of…
We analyze a general class of difference operators $H_\varepsilon = T_\varepsilon + V_\varepsilon$ on $\ell^2(\varepsilon\mathbf{Z}^d)$, where $V_\varepsilon$ is a multi-well potential and $\varepsilon$ is a small parameter. We derive full…
We discuss the interaction between two resonant states in a quantum double-well structure. The behaviour of the resonant states depends on the coupling between the wells, i.e. the height and width of the barrier that separates them. We…
A new manifestation of interlayer coherence in strongly polarized double layer quantum Hall systems with total filling factor $\nu=1$ in the presence of a small or zero tunneling is theoretically predicted. It is shown that moving (for…
