Abstract
Quantum tunneling of particles plays an important role in many chemical reactions. Studying quantum tunneling in time-dependent potential wells is tricky since most of the available solutions of time-dependent potential wells are coupled to specific properties of the Hamiltonian. Here, we investigate the tunneling probability of a quantum wavepacket in time-dependent potential well by using the split operator method. This numerical method can give us an overview of the tunneling probability of a quantum wavepacket for any temporal change in the shape of the potential well. We study a time-dependent potential well model evolving from symmetric to asymmetric quartic double well since quartic potential wells resemble certain practically available potential well models.Quanta 2024; 13: 11–19.
