Regularized Semiclassical Approximation:

Figures from A uniform regularized semiclassical propagator for the 1/x^2 potential, R.S. Manning and G.S. Ezra, Phys. Rev. A. 53 (1996) 661.

Regularized uniform semiclassical and exact quantum propagators for 1/x^2 potential

The curves are indistinguishable to the eye (though actually differ by about 1 percent).
