Localization of a bound particle outside the potential well

Abstract: We describe a simple effect predicted by standard quantum mechanics concerning a particle bound in a potential well brought to the zero-energy state by deformation of the well. When the effect takes place within a crack with impermeable walls the probability of localization of the particle reaches its maximum near the end of the crack. The wave function describing the bound particle may thus decohere far from the potential well. There are numerous instances of experimental data, gathered mostly by geochemists … Show more

“…Solving Schroedinger's equation, the modification of the wave function across the intercellular space described above results in an exponential increase of the wave function along the narrow extracellular space. The narrow space may even be curved (Holub and Smrz, 2002). There may be several possibilities to explain the role of particles in a quantum state in the brain activities.…”
