Semiclassical dynamics with exponentially small error estimates

Abstract: We construct approximate solutions to the time--dependent Schr"odinger equation

i h b a r (p a r t i a l p s i) / (p a r t i a l t) = - (h b a r^{2}) / 2 D e l t a p s i + V p s i

for small values of

h b a r

. If

V

satisfies appropriate analyticity and growth hypotheses and

| t | l e T

, these solutions agree with exact solutions up to errors whose norms are bounded by

C e x p - g a m m a / h b a r

, for some

C

and

g a m m a > 0

. Under more restrictive hypotheses, we prove that for sufficiently small

T^{'}, | t | l e T^{'} | l o g (h b a r) |

implies the norms of the errors are bounded by

C^{'} e x p - g a m m a^{'} / h b a r^{s i g m a}

, for some

C^{'}, g a m m a^{'} > 0

, and

s i g m a > 0

.
