Incoherent tunneling in a double well

U Weiss, H Grabert, P Hänggi, P Riseborough - Physical Review B, 1987 - APS
We give a detailed presentation of a method for calculating the rate of incoherent tunneling
between the minima of damped systems, described by a double-well potential. The method …

Quantum fluctuations in the equilibrium state of a thin superconducting loop

FWJ Hekking, LI Glazman - Physical Review B, 1997 - APS
We study the oscillatory flux dependence of the supercurrent in a thin superconducting loop,
closed by a Josephson junction. Quantum fluctuations of the order parameter in the loop …

Influence of friction and temperature on coherent quantum tunneling

U Weiss, H Grabert, S Linkwitz - Journal of low temperature physics, 1987 - Springer
The dynamics of a quantum particle tunneling through the barrier of an almost symmetric

Atomic tunneling from a Scanning-Tunneling or Atomic-Force Microscope tip: Dissipative quantum effects from phonons

AA Louis, JP Sethna - Physical review letters, 1995 - APS
We study the effects of phonons on the tunneling of an atom between two surfaces. In
contrast to an atom tunneling in the bulk, the phonons couple very strongly and qualitatively …
