Quantum Tunneling in Complex Systems

Focusing on tunneling processes in complex systems, the book presents recent advancements in understanding these phenomena through classical trajectories. It explores advanced imaginary time techniques for decay rates and tunnel splittings, followed by developments in wave-packet tunneling in real-time. Additionally, it addresses thermodynamical and nonequilibrium approaches to barrier transmission in dissipative systems, making it a comprehensive resource for those interested in mesoscopic, molecular, atomic, and nuclear physics.
