Abstract

We consider the singular semiclassical initial value problem for the phase space Schrodinger equation. We approximate semiclassical quantum evolution in phase space by analyzing initial states as superpositions of Gaussian wave packets and applying individually semiclassical anisotropic Gaussian wave packet dynamics, which is based on the the nearby orbit approximation; we accordingly construct a semiclassical approximation of the phase space propagator, the semiclassical wave packet propagator. By the semiclassical propagator we construct asymptotic solutions of the phase space Schrodinger equation, noting the connection of this construction to the initial value repsresentations.
