Enhancing Metastability by Dissipation and Driving in an Asymmetric Bistable Quantum System

Enhancing Metastability by Dissipation and Driving in an Asymmetric Bistable Quantum System

The stabilizing effect of quantum fluctuations on the escape process and the relaxation dynamics from a quantum metastable state are investigated. Specifically, the quantum dynamics of a multilevel bistable system coupled to a bosonic Ohmic thermal bath in strong dissipation regime is analyzed. The...
