Landauer-like formula for dissipative tunneling

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2007-05-23 v1 Superconductivity

Abstract

The Landauer formula for electrical conductance is simple but works remarkably well in mesoscopic systems. We propose a Landauer-like formula for calculating an escape rate out of a dissipative metastable well, the quantum Kramers rate.
