The JWKB approximation is widely used in many problems in quantum mechanics for its simplicity and also because a closed-form solution often provides more insight than a numerical one. Unfortunately, like all approximations, the JWKB method has its limitations: Firstly, it may fail near or at a classical turning point, and secondly, it employs solutions for a potential which deviates from the actual potential W(x). In this work, a new method is proposed to avoid the limitations of the JWKB method while keeping its advantages. First, the singularity around the classical turning point is resolved not only for a linear …
