For periodic and approximately periodic systems, the answer is yes, as we show in this work. Our analytical approach, which we call the Quantum Spectral Method, is based on a novel application of Bohr's correspondence principle, obtaining non-perturbative classical dynamics as the classical limit of quantum matrix elements. A major application of our method is the calculation of self-force as the classical limit of atomic radiative transitions. We demonstrate this by calculating an adiabatic electromagnetic inspiral, along with its associated radiation, at all orders in the multipole expansion.

Abstract: Can classical systems be described analytically at all
orders in their interaction strength? For periodic and approximately
periodic systems, the answer is yes, as we show in this work. Our
analytical approach, which we call the Quantum Spectral Method, is
based on a novel application of Bohr's correspondence principle,
obtaining non-perturbative classical dynamics as the classical limit
of quantum matrix elements. A major application of our method is the
calculation of self-force as the classical limit of atomic radiative
transitions. We demonstrate this by calculating an adiabatic
electromagnetic inspiral, along with its associated radiation, at all
orders in the multipole expansion.
