摘要
In two recent papers (Baranger et al 2001 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 34 7227; 2002 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 35 9493) co-authored by us, we mentioned the work of Dr Kenneth G Kay (Kay 1994 J. Chem. Phys. 100(6) 4377; 100 4432) in an unfavourable light. In this comment we correct this impression, as it was based on a misunderstanding of his work. The point at issue has been the derivation of the Herman-Kluk formula (Hen-nan and Kluk 1984 Chem. Phys. 9127). We find Kay's derivation to be the most solid at the moment.
