Regular-to-Chaotic Tunneling Rates: From the Quantum to the Semiclassical Regime

arXiv:0906.4893 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.104.114101

Abstract

We derive a prediction of dynamical tunneling rates from regular to chaotic phase-space regions combining the direct regular-to-chaotic tunneling mechanism in the quantum regime with an improved resonance-assisted tunneling theory in the semiclassical regime. We give a qualitative recipe for identifying the relevance of nonlinear resonances in a given -regime. For systems with one or multiple dominant resonances we find excellent agreement to numerics.
