An asymmetric double-well potential is considered, assuming that the minima of the wells are quadratic with a frequency $\omega$ and the difference of the minima is close to a multiple of $\hbar \omega$. A WKB wave function is constructed…
The double-well potential is a good example, where we can compute the splitting in the bound state energy of the system due to the tunneling effect with various methods, namely WKB or instanton calculations. All these methods are…
The quantum mechanical tunneling through multiple quantum barriers is a long-standing and well-known problem. Three methods proposed earlier to calculate the tunneling probabilities and energy splitting: (1). Instanton Method (2) WKb…
We present an improved Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) calculation of tunnel splitting in one dimensional asymmetric double well potentials. We show that the tunnel splitting in general can have linear dependence on the bias energy, beside…
We discuss in detail the Bloch waves method for calculation of energy and orientation dependent scattering cross-section for inelastic scattering of electrons on crystals. Convergence properties are investigated and a new algorithm with…
The accuracy of the WKB approximation when predicting the energy splitting of bound states in a double well potential is the main subject of this paper. The splitting of almost degenerate energy levels below the top of the barrier results…
We derive the semiclassical WKB quantization condition for obtaining the energy band edges of periodic potentials. The derivation is based on an approach which is much simpler than the usual method of interpolating with linear potentials in…
We derive a general WKB energy splitting formula in a double-well potential by incorporating both phase loss and anharmonicity effect in the usual WKB approximation. A bare application of the phase loss approach to the usual WKB method…
By using the WKB quantization we deduce an analytical formula for the energy splitting in a double--well potential which is the usual Landau formula with additional quantum corrections. Then we analyze the accuracy of our formula for the…
The tunneling effect is the most popular phenomenon of quantum physics and is present in modern physical theories. Still, the most important features of this effect are already present in toy models - low dimensional quantum mechanics with…
In the Bloch-wave approach to estimate the baryon-number-violating scattering cross section in the standard electroweak theory in the laboratory, we clarify the relation between the single sphaleron barrier and multiple (near periodic)…
We present a new numerical method for accurate computations of solutions to (linear) one dimensional Schr\"odinger equations with periodic potentials. This is a prominent model in solid state physics where we also allow for perturbations by…
It was found recently that tunneling probabilities over a barrier is roughly twice as large as that given by standard WKB formula. Here we explained how this come from and showed that WKB method does give a good approximation over almost…
A vortex can tunnel between two pinning potentials in an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate on a time scale of the order of 1s under typical experimental conditions. This makes it possible to detect the tunneling experimentally. We calculate…
We adapt the semiclassical technique, as used in the context of instanton transitions in quantum field theory, to the description of tunneling transmissions at finite energies through potential barriers by complex quantum mechanical…
By using the WKB quantization we deduce an analytical formula for the energy splitting in a double-well potential which is the usual Landau formula with additional quantum corrections. Then we analyze the accuracy of our formula for the…
We study the tunneling through delta and double delta potentials in fractional quantum mechanics. After solving the fractional Schr\"odinger equation for these potentials, we calculate the corresponding reflection and transmission…
We apply a path integral variational approach to obtain analytical expressions for condensate wave functions of an ultracold, interacting trapped Bose gases. As in many recent experiments, the particles are confined in a 1D or 3D harmonic…
We investigate the effect of anharmonicity on the WKB approximation in a double well potential. By incorporating the anharmonic perturbation into the WKB energy splitting formula we show that the WKB approximation can be greatly improved in…
We study the accuracy of several alternative semiclassical methods by computing analytically the energy levels for many large classes of exactly solvable shape invariant potentials. For these potentials, the ground state energies computed…
