This exercise asks students to explore resonant and off-resonant tunneling behavior between two harmonic wells.

Students are asked to explore the scenario where both wells are at the same level as well as the case where one well is tilted relative to the other.

 

Key words and phrases: quantum harmonic oscillator, double-well potential, tunneling, resonance
