Phase-integral calculation of quantal matrix elements without the use of wavefunctions

Nanny Fröman, Per Olof Fröman

Simple phase-integral formulas for the calculation, without the use wavefunctions, of quantal matrix elements of multiplicative and differential operators are given for the case of bound states in a single-well potential. The matrix elements are obtained to within the accuracy corresponding to any conveniently chosen order of the kind of phase-integral approximations used.

Semiclassical matrix-mechanics. II. Angular momentum operators

Richard M. More

Semiclassical angular momentum matrices are calculated using a new contour-integral formula for matrix-elements. WKB spherical harmonic functions are found to be exaclty orthonormal with the contour-integral inner-product. Matrix-elements obtained from these wave-functions are accurate to about 2 % and the matrices obey the commutation relations expected of quantum angular momentum operators. The semiclassical wave-functions are related to a superposition of allowed classical orbits and this illustrates the connection to the Feynman pathsummation formulation of quantum mechanics for electrons in a spherically symmetric potential.
