Quantization and Semiclassics

This course is aimed at graduate students in physics in mathematics and designed to give a comprehensive introduction to Weyl quantization and semiclassics via Egorov's theorem. Chapter 2 gives a quick overview of classical and quantum mechanics on R^d. Some mathematical preliminaries concerning Hilbert space theory, operator theory and tempered distributions are detailed in Chapters 3-5. Weyl quantization and semiclassics are the content of Chapters 6 and 7. Finally, an application of Weyl calculus to Born-Oppenheimer systems is discussed in Chapter 8.
