In fact, in 1926, Paul Dirac derived the rate constants by using a semiclassical approach, citation and, in 1927, succeeded in deriving all the rate constants from first principles within the framework of quantum theory.
Multiperiodic motion Bohr Sommerfeld quantization Bohr's correspondence principle provided a way to find the semiclassical quantization rule for a one degree of freedom system.
However, in the semiclassical expansion, one has a finite system of ODEs at any fixed order of ħ. The evolution equation of the Wigner function is also an infinite-order PDE.
Nevertheless, all semiclassical theories were refuted definitively in the 1970s and 1980s by photon-correlation experiments.
This is only reproduced in a more sophisticated semiclassical treatment like Sommerfeld's.
This ring seems to allow a closed time loop with stable wormholes when analyzed using semiclassical gravity, although without a full theory of quantum gravity it is uncertain whether the semiclassical approach is reliable in this case.
