Recently, the Lorentzian path integral formulation using the Picard-Lefschetz theory has attracted much attention in quantum cosmology. In this paper, we analyze the tunneling amplitude in quantum mechanics by using the Lorentzian Picard-Lefschetz formulation and compare it with the WKB analysis of the conventional Schr\"{o}dinger equation. We show that the Picard-Lefschetz Lorentzian formulation is consistent with the WKB approximation for wave-function and the Euclidean path integral formulation utilizing the solutions of the Euclidean constraint equation. We also consider some problems of this Lorentzian Picard-Lefschetz formulation and discuss a simpler semiclassical approximation of the Lorentzian path integral without integrating the lapse function.

The Lorentzian Geometry of Tunneling in Global de Sitter at Late Time
A late-time Lorentzian Hamiltonian/WKB calculation of bubble nucleation in de Sitter reproduces the CDL decay exponent for all tunneling types, with gravity-dominated bubbles going on-shell at the parent horizon.

Path integral analysis of Schr\"odinger-type eigenvalue problems in the complex plane: Establishing the relation between instantons and resonant states
Path integrals on complex contours that terminate in prescribed Stokes sectors yield spectral formulas for resonant energies, explaining why the instanton bounce calculation and real-time decay rates agree.
