• Abstract: The Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin semiclassical method is formulated for quasiparticles with quartic-in-momentum dispersion which presents the simplest case of a soft energy-momentum dispersion. It is shown that matching wave functions in the classically forbidden and allowed regions requires the consideration of higher-order Airy-type functions. The asymptotics of these functions are found by using the method of steepest descents and contain additional exponentially suppressed contributions known as hyperasymptotics. These hyperasymptotics are crucially important for the correct matching of wave functions in vicinity of turning points for higher-order differential equations. A quantization condition for bound state energies is obtained, which generalizes the standard Bohr-Sommerfeld condition for particles with quadratic energy-momentum dispersion and contains nonperturbative in $\hbar$ correction. The quantization condition is used to find bound state energies in the case of quadratic and quartic potentials.

  We use a generalized tanh shaped hyperbolic potential to investigate bound state solutions of the Dirac equation. Results indicate that the energy eigenvalues are strongly correlated with the potential parameters. Using this potential to model mass spectra of charmonium and bottomonium, we show that results for the calculated quark mass spectra align closely with experimentally observed values.

We introduce a method to deal with these systems based on the calculation of (dissipative) lattice Green's function. We illustrate the power of this method with several examples of driven-dissipative bosonic chains of increasing complexity.
