    "abstract": "We study the effects of the environment on tunneling in an open system\ndescribed by a static double-well potential. We describe the evolution of a\nquantum state localized in one of the minima of the potential at $t=0$, both in\nthe limits of high and zero environment temperature. We show that the evolution\nof the system can be summarized in terms of three main physical phenomena,\nnamely decoherence, quantum tunneling and noise-induced activation, and we\nobtain analytical estimates for the corresponding time-scales. These analytical\npredictions are confirmed by large-scale numerical simulations, providing a\ndetailed picture of the main stages of the evolution and of the relevant\ndynamical processes.",
