Abstract:
By using the usual instanton method, we obtain the energy splitting due to quantum tunneling through the triple-well barrier. It is shown that the term related to the midpoint of the energy splitting in propagator is quite different from that of double-well case, in that it is proportional to the algebraic average of the frequencies of the left and central wells. The result of the energy splitting is consistent with the known variational calculation.
