2.Typo may

Problematic sentence

Since the wave function for x>x2 must strictly decay, we can deduce from the connection formulas that only the second term of this wave function mahy be present.

Correct version

3.\dots not shown as dots

Problematic sentence

"Hence, we find the condition for a valid solution "
\int_{x_1}^{x_2} p(x') dx' = \left( n - \frac{1}{2} \right)\pi \hbar\quad \text{for n=1,2,3,\\dots}.

Correct version

"Hence, we find the condition for a valid solution "

4.extra i within sin

Problematic sentence

"Then, we apply the second boundary condition ψWKB(x2)=0, and we find "
\sin \left( \frac{i}{\hbar} \int_{x_1}^{x_2} p(x')dx' \right) = 0.

Correct version
