Wave-packet evolution and quantization
A general relationship is established between wave-packet evolution and quantization in classically integrable systems. Because of wave-packet spreading, one cannot simply take the Fourier transform of the time evolution of a wave-packet. Instead, one must propagate the wave-packet using the actions as Hamiltonians. The energy eigenvalues which result are the Einstein-Brillouin-Keller values, and new forms for the eigenfunctions appear. These are free of caustic singularities, and represent averages of wave packets over the invariant torus.
