Resonant tunnelling is studied numerically and analytically with the help of a three-well quantum one-dimensional time-independent model. The simplest cases are considered where the three-well potential is polynomial or piecewise constant.
Tunneling is one of the most bizarre phenomena in quantum mechanics. An attempt to understand it led to the next natural question of how long does a particle need to tunnel a barrier. The latter gave rise to several definitions such as the…
