Decoherence of quantum tunneling by coherent phonon modes in symmetric double-well system

摘要

We investigate effect of the decoherence in quantum tunneling in one-dimensional symmetric double-well potential with coherent or stochastic perturbation. A coupling with some vibrational modes can cause the decoherence in the wavepacket dynamics. Furthermore, we discuss the controllability of the quantum tunneling by external field based on optimal control theory.
