| Apr 25, 2021 at 15:01 | comment | added | Michael Engelhardt | I don't understand the term "nondegenerate". That usually means that there are two things that are not equal (possibly the values of $V$ at the two minima in the present context). Since $V$ is an even function, I suspect it's more likely that something is degenerate here as opposed to nondegenerate? | |

| Apr 25, 2021 at 13:22 | comment | added | Carlo Beenakker | I presume you mean the WKB approximation for the level splitting? | |
