All three <strong>of</strong> these conditions are easily achieved. (In particular, the third condition<br />

is automatic for degenerate modes in intersections with sufficient symmetry [the<br />

symmetry group <strong>of</strong> the square].) The resulting transmission pr<strong>of</strong>ile will be the typical<br />

spectrum <strong>of</strong> resonant tunneling--a Lorentzian (bell-shaped) curve centered on the<br />

resonance frequency. The width <strong>of</strong> the resonance is inversely proportional to the quality<br />

factor Q <strong>of</strong> the resonant mode (Q is proportional to the decay lifetime).
