Asymptotic formula for quantum harmonic oscillator tunneling probabilities

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

Using simple methods of asymptotic analysis it is shown that for a quantum harmonic oscillator in n-th energy eigenstate the probability of tunneling into the classically forbidden region obeys an unexpected but simple asymptotic formula: the leading term is inversely proportional to the cube root of n.
