| Abstract: | Recently, new connection formulas for the WKB method have been proposed, without justification, for quantum tunneling problems. We show that these formulas can be associated with diagrammatic rules within the complex time framework of the path integral formalism and then we express the relevant Green functions in terms of a sum of contributions coming from (easily interpreted) classical paths. The method is applied to barrier penetration and the double well. Received: 6 June 2000 / Published online: 27 October 2000 |
