Quantum interference in the classically forbidden region: A parametric oscillator

We study tunneling between period-2 states of a parametrically modulated oscillator. The tunneling matrix element is shown to oscillate with the varying frequency of the modulating field. The effect is due to spatial oscillations of the wave function and the related interference in the classically forbidden region. The oscillations emerge …
