# Quasiclassical propagator

Sometimes they are referred as Keldysh quasiclassical propagator or Eilenberger propagator. How the quasiclassical propagator is derived? How they are implement with a simple case of a Green's function? $$G^{K}= \begin{bmatrix} (g^K+\vec{g}^K \cdot \vec{\sigma}) & (f^K+\vec{f}^K \cdot \vec{\sigma})i\sigma_y \\ i\sigma_y(\underline{f}^K+\vec{\underline{f}}^K \cdot \vec{\sigma}) & (\underline{g}^K-\sigma_y\vec{\underline{g}}^K \cdot \vec{\sigma}\sigma_y) \end{bmatrix}$$

They come from a quasi-classical expansion of the Dyson's equation (in the context of superconductivity, the Dyson's equations for the normal $G$ and anomalous $F$ Green's function are usually called the Gor'kov equations). They originate from
