Maple does not do the first one, but for the second one it yields

-1/8*Pi^(1/2)*exp(-1/16/A^2)*(2*I*erf(3/4*I/A)*exp(-1/2/A^2)*cos(1/2*B)+
2*I*erf(1/4*I/A)*cos(1/2*B)+I*erf(1/4*(4*A^2*Pi-3*I)/A)*exp(-1/2/A^2)*co
s(1/2*B)-erf(1/4*(4*A^2*Pi-3*I)/A)*exp(-1/2/A^2)*sin(1/2*B)+I*erf(1/4*(4
*A^2*Pi-I)/A)*cos(1/2*B)+erf(1/4*(4*A^2*Pi-I)/A)*sin(1/2*B)-I*erf(1/4*(4
*A^2*Pi+I)/A)*cos(1/2*B)+erf(1/4*(4*A^2*Pi+I)/A)*sin(1/2*B)-I*erf(1/4*(4
*A^2*Pi+3*I)/A)*exp(-1/2/A^2)*cos(1/2*B)-erf(1/4*(4*A^2*Pi+3*I)/A)*exp(-
1/2/A^2)*sin(1/2*B))/A
