Tunneling between vertically stacked quantum wires has been investigated. The wiresare assumed to have the dimension perpendicular to the tunneling barrier much smallerthan the other transverse dimension, so that only the lowest mode in such direction is tobe taken into account, while many modes in the other direction are filled. A model withhard-wall confinement has been used for the investigation of the transport problem, andthe tunneling conductance has been computed, via a recursive Green's functionsprocedure
