Abstract: In this note, we will consider semiclassical scattering for compactly supported non-trapping perturbations of the Laplacian on $mathbb{R}^d$. We will define a family of Gaussian states on $mathbb{S}^{d-1}$, parametrized by points in $T^{\ast }mathbb{S}^{d-1}$, and show that the action of the scattering matrix on a Gaussian state of parameter $hoin{T}^{\ast }mathbb{S}^{d-1}$ is still a Gaussian state, with parameter $kappa(ho)$, where $kappa$ is the (classical) scattering map. This is one way of saying that emph{the scattering matrix quantizes the scattering map}, complementary to a previous result of Alexandrova in terms of Fourier Integral Operators.
