A self‐consistent field approximation allowing for a change of coordinates is applied to a model of two coupled oscillators considered by Davis and Heller [J. Chem. Phys. 75 , 246 (1981)]. The model accounts well for the unsymmetrical nonstationary states involved in the quantum dynamical tunneling phenomenon.
