Decay Rates of Metastable States in Cubic Potential by Variational Perturbation Theory
英文摘要：
Variational perturbation theory is used to determine the decay rates of metastable states across a cubic barrier of arbitrary height. For high barriers, a variational resummation procedure is applied to the complex energy eigenvalues obtained from a WKB expansion; for low barriers, the variational resummation procedure converts the non-Borel-summable Rayleigh-Schrö\-din\-ger expansion into an exponentially fast convergent one. The results in the two regimes match and yield very accurate imaginary parts of the energy eigenvalues. This is demonstrated by comparison with the complex eigenvalues from solutions of the Schrödinger equation via the complex-coordinate rotation method.
