Abstract:
Although quantum tunneling between phase space tori occurs, it is suppressed in the semiclassical limit for the Schrödinger equation of a particle in
under the influence of a smooth periodic potential.
In particular this implies that the distribution of quantum group velocities near energy E converges to the distribution of the classical asymptotic velocities near E, up to a term of the order .
