Abstract: A classical approximation to time-dependent quantum mechanical scattering in the Møller formalism is presented. Numerically, our approach is similar to a standard classical-trajectory Monte Carlo calculation. Conceptually, however, our formulation allows one to release the restriction to stationary initial distributions. This is achieved by a classical forward-backward propagation technique. As a first application and for comparison with experiment we present fully differential cross sections for electron-impact ionization of atomic hydrogen in the Erhardt geometry.
