Fermi’s golden rule in tunneling models with quantum waveguides perturbed by Kato class measures

Abstract

In this paper we consider two dimensional quantum system with an infinite waveguide of the width $d$ and a transversally invariant profile. Furthermore, we assume that at a distant $\rho$ there is a perturbation defined by the Kato measure. We show that, under certain conditions, the resolvent of the Hamiltonian has the second sheet pole which reproduces the resonance at $z(\rho)$ with the asymptotics $z(\rho)=\mathcal E_{\beta ; n}+\mathcal O \Big(\frac{ \exp(-\sqrt{2 |\mathcal E_{\beta ;n}| } \rho )}{\rho }\Big)$ for $\rho$ large and with the resonant energy $\mathcal E_{\beta ;n}$. Moreover, we show that the imaginary component of $z(\rho)$ satisfies Fermi's golden rule which we explicitly derive.
