See Supplemental Material at http://link.aps.org/supplemental/10.1103/ PhysRevLett.109.090401 for the analysis of the classical trajectories, the conformal mapping from the coordinate to the complex time plane, and the evaluation of the prefactor in the WKB matrix elements. Also discussed there is the distinction of the quantum resonances in a weakly nonlinear oscillator from chaos- and resonance-assisted tunneling and the effects of dissipation.
