Quantum characteristics of the Topological Non-connectivity Threshold (TNT), introduced in [F. Borgonovi, G.L. Celardo, M. Maianti, E. Pedersoli, J. Stat. Phys. 116, 516 (2004)], have been analyzed in the hard quantum regime. New interesting perspectives in term of the possibility to study the intriguing quantum-classical transition through Macroscopic Quantum Tunneling have been addressed.
