Einstein-Brillouin-Keller Action Quantization (1917) (1926) (1958) Bohr-Sommerfeld-Wilson quantization used fuzzy math, neglecting caustics at turning points in librations. The correct semiclassical action quantization condition is: where i = 0(rotations) = 1 (tunnelling) Topological Maslov Index = 2 (librations) = 4 (square well) It yields astonishingly accurate results !!!
