Abstract
By balancing energy diffusion (inside a local potential hole) with ohmic quantum tunnelling (through a parabolic barrier), an exact quasi-equilibrium metastable state is found with a decay rate which includes Bell’s result (for moderate damping), Melnikov’s formula (for weak damping), the Büttiker, Harris and Landauer expression (in the classical limit), both Kramers’ weak and strong damping results, and the correct quantum limit as special cases.
