We propose an extension of Wenzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) approximation for solving the Schr\"odinger equation. A set of coupled differential equations is obtained by considering an ansatz of the wave function with an auxiliary condition on…

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 A superseded version of the…

A new semiclassical approach to linear (L) and nonlinear (NL) one-dimensional Schr\"odinger equation (SE) is presented. Unlike the usual WKB solution, our solution does not diverge at the classical turning point. For LSE, our zeroth-order…
