Purity dependent uncertainty relation and possible enhancement of
quantum tunneling phenomenon    [PDF]

V. N. Chernega

The position-momentum uncertainty relations containing the dependence of their quantum bounds on state purity parameter $\mu$ are discussed in context of possibilities to influence on the potential barrier transparency by means of decoherence processes. The behavior of barrier transparency $D$ is shown to satisfy the condition $\mu^{-1}\ln D=const$. The particular case of thermal state with temperature $T$ where the purity parameter is a function of temperature is considered. For large temperature the condition for the barrier transparency is shown to be $T\ln D=const$.
