These lectures are intended to introduce the Semi Classical
Approximation and some of its intricacies in a consistent and
transparent way. The main topics to be covered are:
- The semi classical approximation for the quantum evolution operator - Semi-classical spectral theory: The trace formula and some of its applications. (For systems in 1-d) It is hoped that the ideas and tools presented here will provide a solid jumping-board for further studies and applications. → Lecture notes and recommended literature |
