Description
The WKB approximation for bound states is derived from Heisenberg matrix mechanics. It is shown that the result can be obtained from the Bohr--Sommerfeld quantization of a suitably chosen solution of the classical equations of motion. It is also derived from the commutation relation and from a quantum form of Hamilton's variational principle
