Description
The ideas of supersymmetric quantum mechanics are applied to the tunneling problem for double-well potentials. We evaluate the tunneling by developing a systematic perturbation expansion whose leading term is an improvement over the standard WKB result. We find that the perturbation series converges rapidly
