Finding this amplitude is reduced to the computation of a Feynman path integral. This calculus has been carried out using the instanton method, which demands to rotate the time coordinate along the imaginary plane. The results obtained show that the ground state energy has actually an imaginary part (fact that is actually related to the metastability of the system) and allows to find the decaying rate of the metastable state5 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd (c) Alsina, 2021http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/Efecte túnelEstat quànticTreballs de fi de grauTunneling (Physics)Quantum stateBachelor's thesesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/bachelorThesisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
