On the convergence of the WKB series for the angular momentum operator

In this paper we prove a recent conjecture about the convergence of the WKB series for the angular momentum operator. We demonstrate that the WKB algorithm for the angular momentum gives the exact quantization formula if all orders are summed. Finally, we discuss the supersymmetric semiclassical quantum mechanics (SWKB), which gives the correct quantization of the angular momentum at the leading order.
