Wigner and Husimi transforms have long been used for the phase-space reformulation of Schr\"odinger-type equations, and the study of the corresponding semiclassical limits. Most of the existing results provide approximations in appropriate…

We analyze the semiclassical evolution of Gaussian wavepackets in chaotic systems. We prove that after some short time a Gaussian wavepacket becomes a primitive WKB state. From then on, the state can be propagated using the standard TDWKB…
