Evaluation of the semiclassical coherent state propagator in the presence of phase space caustics

A D Ribeiro, Marcus A. M. de Aguiar

A uniform approximation for the coherent state propagator, valid in the vicinity of phase space caustics, was recently obtained using the Maslov method combined with a dual representation for coherent states. In this paper we review the derivation of this formula and apply it to two model systems: the one-dimensional quartic oscillator and a two-dimensional chaotic system.

Uniform Approximation for the Coherent-State Propagator Using a Conjugate Application of the Bargmann Representation

A. D. Ribeiro, Marcel Novaes, Marcus A. M. de Aguiar

We propose a conjugate application of the Bargmann representation of quantum mechanics. Applying the Maslov method to the semiclassical connection formula between the two representations, we derive a uniform semiclassical approximation for the coherent-state propagator which is finite at phase space caustics.
