Barrier Penetration in Semiclassical Approximation

Description

This lecture covers the fixed energy propagator in the semiclassical approximation, focusing on barrier penetration and the saddle point approximation. It discusses the outgoing waves, transmission probability, and the exact result for barrier penetration when the potential is zero. The instructor explains the concepts using examples and mathematical derivations, emphasizing the importance of the semiclassical approximation in quantum mechanics.
