Abstract
Scattering is an important component of any quantum mechanics course. However, the scattering amplitude in the case of a general potential is often calculated using the simple Born approximation, which does not embed general properties such as unitarity or analyticity. We show that a relatively simple extension, the eikonal approximation, offers a significant improvement and demonstrate this in the case of the electromagnetic and gravitational interactions.
