Quantum-Classical Correspondence Dynamical Quantization and the Classical Limit

Quantum-Classical Correspondence Dynamical Quantization and the Classical Limit / by A. O. Bolivar.

At what level of physical existence does "quantum behavior" begin? How does it develop from classical mechanics? This book addresses these questions and thereby sheds light on fundamental conceptual problems of quantum mechanics. Quantum-Classical Correspondence elucidates the problem by d...
