Abstract:
The roles of spatial symmetry and strength of external time-dependent perturbation on the dynamics of a quantum particle, initially localized in one of the wells of an asymmetric double-well potential are studied using the recently developed techniques incorporating quantum theory of motion and time-dependent Fourier grid Hamiltonian methods. The model used here includes a mimic of the related experimental situations which is considered as a perturbation to the static double-well potential. Analysis of localized and delocalized phase space structures and corresponding time-profile of tunneling probability reveal the recipe toward controlling the tunneling oscillations by modulating the parameters of applied perturbation. A study on a stochastic pulsating potential also reveals the root to the quantum localization, even in moderate field strength.
