Monte Carlo calculation of quantum tunneling in the dilute instanton limit

Creators

Abstract

A new approach for estimating small quantum tunneling rates by Monte Carlo calculation is proposed and demonstrated on a simple one-dimensional model. The application to many-body situations such as atomic exchange in solid 3He is discussed.
