Description

The semiclassical approximation for scattering probabilities is tested for a simple chaotic system consisting of a particle in one dimension scattering from a localized potential that varies periodically in time. Good agreement between semiclassical and exact quantum mechanical results is found even for relatively large de Broglie wavelengths
