We show that the all-orders WKB periods of one-dimensional quantum mechanical oscillators are governed by the refined holomorphic anomaly equations of topological string theory. We analyze in detail the double-well potential and the cubic and quartic oscillators, and we calculate the WKB expansion of their quantum free energies by using the direct integration of the anomaly equations. We reproduce in this way all known results about the quantum periods of these models, which we express in terms of modular forms on the WKB curve. As an application of our results, we study the large order behavior of the WKB expansion in the case of the double well, which displays the double factorial growth typical of string theory.

Exact WKB in all sectors II: Potentials with non-degenerate saddles
For generic one-dimensional potentials, the exact spectrum decomposes into as many trans-series sectors as there are distinct local-minimum energy levels, with continuous transitions across barrier tops and discontinu...
