Abstract

In this work, we prove Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization rules for the self-adjoint Zakharov-Shabat system and the Schr\"odinger equation in the presence of two simple turning points bounding a classically allowed region. In particular, we use the method of comparison equations for 2×22\times 2 traceless first-order systems to provide a unified perspective that yields similar proofs in each setting. The use of a Weber model system gives results that are uniform in the eigenvalue parameter over the whole range from the bottom of the potential well up to finite values.
