Abstract

In this talk we consider the time evolution of a one-dimensional quantum system with a double barrier given by a couple of repulsive Dirac’s deltas. In such a pedagogical model we give, by means of the theory of quantum resonances, the asymptotic behavior of 〈ψ, e itH ϕ〉 for large times, where H is the double-barrier Hamiltonian operator and where ψ and ϕ are two test functions. In particular, when ψ is close to a resonant state then explicit expression of the dominant terms of the survival probability defined as | 〈ψ, e itH ψ〉 |2 is given.
