Quantum revival patterns from classical phase-space trajectories
- A general semiclassical method in phase space based on the final value representation of the Wigner function is considered that bypasses caustics and the need to root search for classical trajectories. We demonstrate its potential by applying the method to the Kerr Hamiltonian, for which the exact quantum evolution is punctuated by a sequence of intricate revival patterns. The structure of such revival patterns, lying far beyond the Ehrenfest time, is semiclassically reproduced and revealed as a consequence of constructive and destructive interferences of classical trajectories.
