Symphony of Imaginary Frequencies: Quantum Decay of the Inverted Well

A classical particle rolls off a hilltop, nudged by gravity; its quantum twin is pushed down by the uncertainty principle itself. A new work provides a rigorous solution for the inverted potential well: energy becomes purely imaginary, E = iℏω(n+½), and states decay exponentially. Yet in coherent su
