Since the first attempts to calculate the helium ground state in the early days of Bohr- Sommerfeld quantization, two-electron atoms have posed a series of unexpected …
We discuss and give evidence for the existence of a new mechanism for quantum dynamical tunneling. It may occur when a quantum system's underlying classical dynamics are far from …
The solution of a stationary k-dimensional Schrodinger equation H Psi= E Psi in the semiclassical limit h (cross) to 0 is reduced to a discrete (k-1)-dimensional quantum map …
Abstract In a recent Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 67, 664 (1991)] we found semiclassical propagation to be remarkably accurate in the chaotic stadium billiard long after classical fine …

A semiclassical initial value technique for wave function propagation described by Herman and Kluk [Chem. Phys. 91, 27 (1984)] is tested for systems with two degrees of freedom. It is …

Abstract The Van Vleck formula is an approximate, semiclassical expression for the quantum propagator. It is the starting point for the derivation of the Gutzwiller trace formula, and …
We show that classical chaotic scattering has experimentally measurable consequences for the quantum conductance of semiconductor microstructures. These include the existence of …

The authors derive a semiclassical secular equation which applies to quantized (compact) billiards of any shape. Their approach is based on the fact that the billiard boundary defines …
