The antiparallel current‐induced spin polarization (CISP) in an inversion‐symmetric double‐quantum‐well structure with the antiparallel Rashba effective magnetic field is calculated by solving the Boltzmann equation which is derived for the distribution operator in layer‐pseudospin space in the relaxation‐time approximation. The antiparallel CISP in an analytical form, obtained for constant momentum relaxation time in the limit of large Fermi energy, exhibits factor‐two increase with increasing the interlayer‐tunneling strength. This increase originates from the correction (to the semiclassical CISP) created by the subband mixing due to the momentum dependence of the Rashba effective magnetic field. The present interlayer‐coupling dependence of the antiparallel CISP is successfully explained as the layer‐pseudospin Hanle effect in which the spin in the original Hanle effect is replaced by the layer pseudospin. The present finding suggests that the correction by band mixing can be significant in the transport properties of various systems with the momentum‐dependent effective magnetic field.
