Abstract: In this article, a class of Fourier Integral Operators which converge to the unitary group of the Schr"odinger equation in semiclassical limit $epsilono0$ is constructed. The convergence is in the uniform operator norm and allows for a error bound $C_{N}epsilo{n}^{N+1}$ for any integer $N$ and extends to Ehrenfest timescaleswith bound $C_{N}epsilo{n}^{N+1-ho}$ where $ho$ can be made arbitrary small. In the chemical literature those approximations are known as simple Initial Value Representations.
