Abstract

We show a general initial value form of the semiclassical propagator. Similar to cellular dynamics, this formulation involves only the nearby orbits approximation: the evolution of nearby orbits is approximated by linearized dynamics. This phase space smearing formulation keeps the accuracy of the original Van Vleck-Gutzwiller propagator. As an illustration, we present a simple initial value form of the semiclassical propagator. It is nonsingular everywhere and is efficient for numeric implementation.
