The effect of dissipation on quantum transmission resonance
arXiv:0704.3300 · doi:10.1016/j.physleta.2007.04.055
Abstract
Quantum transmissions of a free particle passing through a rectangular potential barrier with dissipation are studied using a path decomposition technique. Dissipative processes strongly suppress the transmission probability at resonance just above the barrier resulting in an unexpected reduction of the mean traversal time through the potential barrier.
