摘要
An exact analytical approach is used to explore the dynamics of the decaying probability density and the probability current in multibarrier systems. We show that resonance state interference produces the appearance of breathing or bouncing modes in the dynamical behavior of the probability density along the internal region of the system. This dynamical process involves the reconstruction of the initial state and it is responsible for the pulsed features of the decay recently discussed for the survival probability in these systems.
