Tunnelling of Hermite-Gaussian wavepackets
Abstract
We examine the tunnelling process of incident Hermite-Gaussian wavepackets which feature several nodes and peaks. An analytic formula for the transmitted wave function is developed which applies to arbitrary incident wave functions and potential barriers with known transmission amplitudes. This formula permits the accurate numerical calculation of the transmitted wave packet, even when the transmission probability is extremely small. For square …
