21. In the standard SCM, keeping the return time constant is equivalent to keeping the return energy constant when measured as a fraction of U p.

23. We have tried weighting the four different paths equally, or weighting the ones with longer return times slightly lower, to account for the dispersion that would occur for a quantum wave packet. This spread is proportional to the square root of the travel time. We find that the weighting makes little difference for the appearance of the semiclassical path distributions.
