The WKB Approximation without Divergences

Quantum Physics 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

In this paper, the WKB approximation to the scattering problem is developed without the divergences which usually appear at the classical turning points. A detailed procedure of complexification is shown to generate results identical to the usual WKB prescription but without the cumbersome connection formulas.
