Abstract: This paper is concerned with the efficient numerical computation of solutions to the 1D stationary Schr"odinger equation in the semiclassical limit in the highly oscillatory regime. A previous approach to this problem based on explicitly incorporating the leading terms of the WKB approximation is enhanced in two ways: first a refined error analysis for the method is presented for a not explicitly known WKB phase, and secondly the phase and its derivatives will be computed with spectral methods. The efficiency of the approach is illustrated for several examples.
