Abstract

We perform a systematic WKB expansion to all orders for a one--dimensional system with potential V(x)=U0/2(αx). We are able to sum the series to the exact energy spectrum. Then we show that any finite order WKB approximation fails to predict the individual energy levels within a vanishing fraction of the mean energy level spacing.
