Quantum decay rates for driven barrier potentials in the strong friction limit
Joachim Ankerhold
Abstract
Quantum decay rates for barrier potentials driven by external stochastic and periodic forces in the strong damping regime are studied. Based on the recently derived quantum Smoluchowski equation [Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 086802 (2001)] explicit analytical and numerical results are presented for the case of the resonant activation phenomenon in a bistable potential and the escape from a metastablwell with oscillating barrier, respectively. The significant impact of quantum fluctuations is revealed.
