Key to understanding QM interactions not only involves harmonic relationships, but also phase relationships and physical orientations/alignments of the dipole-like oscillations. The fact that tunneling probability is a function of mag-fld is no surprise here… the mag-fld serves to bring things into a better alignment, which increases the likelihood of ‘tunneling’. The fact that unusual phenomena like tunneling and anomalous branching ratios are so rare, is because normal BULK matter is a very complex 3D matrix of oscillators, which, at any temperature above 0K, are only in ‘sync’ for infinitesimally short time periods and only in very small areas. The individual oscillators WANT to be at their fundamental frequencies, but quanta of heat energy are being absorbed and emitted constantly, so none of your neighboring atoms/electrons are ever in sync with yours.
