Quantum dynamics in a cubic potential in the semi-classical limit: Smearing of the homoclinic bifurcation
We consider the dynamics of a particle inside the metastable well of a cubic potential. In the classical picture the particle can oscillate inside the well when its total energy is less than a critical value Ec at which point a homoclinic bifurcation occurs. The quantum particle is always supposed t...
