We consider the time dependent Schr\"odinger equation with a coupling spin-orbit in the semi-classical regime $\hbar\searrow 0$ and large spin number $\spin\rightarrow +\infty$ such that $\hbar^\delta\spin=c$ where $c>0$ and $\delta>0$ are…
We discuss the semiclassical approaches for describing systems with spin-orbit interactions by Littlejohn and Flynn (1991, 1992), Frisk and Guhr (1993), and by Bolte and Keppeler (1998, 1999). We use these methods to derive trace formulae…
