The Gutzwiller trace formula provides a semiclassical approximation for the density of states of a quantum system in terms of classical periodic orbits. In its original form Gutzwiller derived the trace formula for quantum systems without…

We derive semiclassical trace formulae including Gutzwiller's trace formula using coherent states. This formulation has several advantages over the usual coordinate-space formulation. Using a coherent-state basis makes it immediately…

In 1967 M.C. Gutzwiller succeeded to derive the semiclassical expression of the quantum energy density of systems exhibiting a chaotic Hamiltonian dynamics in the classical limit. The result is known as the Gutzwiller trace formula. The…

We derive a Gutzwiller-type trace formula for quantum chaotic systems that accounts for both particle spin precession and discrete geometrical symmetries. This formula generalises previous results that were obtained either for systems with…

We extend the Gutzwiller trace formula to systems of noninteracting identical particles. The standard relation for isolated orbits does not apply since the energy of each particle is separately conserved causing the periodic orbits to occur…

Since its first appearance in 1971, Gutzwiller's trace formula has been extended to systems with continuous symmetries, in which not all periodic orbits are isolated. In order to avoid the divergences occurring in connection with symmetry…

We propose a new application of the Gutzwiller trace formula formalism, to give a compact expression for the semiclassical vacuum pair production rate in quantum electrodynamics, for general inhomogeneous electromagnetic background fields.

Gutzwiller's trace formula allows interpreting the density of states of a classically chaotic quantum system in terms of classical periodic orbits. It diverges when periodic orbits undergo bifurcations, and must be replaced with a uniform…

The Gutzwiller trace formula establishes a profound connection between the quantum spectrum and classical periodic orbits. However, its application is limited by its reliance on the semiclassical saddle point approximation. In this work, we…
