Bound states for square well potentials extending to infinity in \(D\geq2\). (English) Zbl 0795.47044
The author gives an example of potential for which a classical particle could move freely to infinity, while the quantum one has at least one bound state.
This interesting quantum effect is an illustration of the “anti- tunneling” phenomenon: classically allowed regions are forbidden for the quantum particles in the ground state.
