Distinguishing quantum features in classical propagation

We introduce the Truncated Chord Approximation via the symplectic Fourier transform of the Truncated Wigner Function. Direct numerical comparison of the TCA with exact quantum results verifies the semiclassical predictions for an initial coherent state evolving under the Kerr Hamiltonian.
