摘要：

We develop a quantitative semiclassical formula for the resonant tunneling current through a quantum well in a tilted magnetic field. It is shown that the current depends only on periodic orbits within the quantum well. For example, the theory explains the puzzling evolution of the data near a tilt angle of 30 degrees as arising from an exchange bifurcation of the relevant periodic orbits.
