Regarding the limit hbar-->0 as the classical limit of quantum mechanics seems to be silly because hbar is a definite constant of physics, but it was successfully used in the derivation of the WKB approximation. A superseded version of the…

Semiclassical approximations for various representations of a quantum state are constructed on a single (Lagrangian) surface in phase space, but it is not available for chaotic systems. An analogous evolution surface underlies semiclassical…
