Semiclassical Husimi functions for spin systems

Quantum Physics 2011-02-19 v1

Abstract

We derive a semiclassical approximation to the Husimi functions of stationary states of spin systems. We rederive the Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization for spin by locating the poles of the corresponding local Green function. The residues correspond to the Husimi functions, which are seen to agree very well with exact calculations.
