Semiclassical calculation of eigenvalues for a three-dimensional system

Abstract

A method utilizing integration along invariant curves on Poincaré's surfaces of section is described for the semiclassical calculation of eigenvalues for three and higher dimensional systems, supplementing thereby our previous work in two dimensions. The eigenvalues calculated for anharmonically coupled oscillators agree well with the exact quantum eigenvalues.
