Reply to Comment on "Phase-space consideration on barrier transmission in a time-dependent variational approach with superposed wave packets"

preprint2022arXivOpen access

Abstract

In the paper by Hasegawa, Hagino and Tanimura (HHT) [Phys. Lett. B 808 (2020) 135693, arXiv:2006.06944], they concluded that quantum tunneling was simulated by a time-dependent generator coordinate method (TDGCM). In contrast, difficulties of TDGCM in describing quantum tunneling were pointed out by Ono in the paper [Phys. Lett. B 826 (2022) 136931, arXiv:2201.02966]. Recently, HHT submitted a comment [arXiv:2202.00513v1], by which they appear to give some counterarguments to Ono's paper. Here I examine their arguments, reviewing the main points of Ono's paper. The confusion in HHT's arguments may be mostly resolved by recognizing how the wave packets interfere with each other when they are coherently superposed.
