Semiclassical States of Quantum Systems| Semiclassical States of Quantum Systems |
In General
> s.a. coherent states; mixed states;
quantum field theory states; quantum locality.
* Idea: With respect
to correlations, a bipartite state is called classical if it is left
undisturbed by a certain local von Neumann measurement.
* Idea: Semiclassical
states are states with a classical interpretation, in which the probability
distributions for a chosen set of observables are narrowly peaked around
classical values; Common examples are coherent and Gaussian/squeezed states.
$ Def: A set of semiclassical
states is a collection {|ω\(\rangle\)} of states labelled by
points ω in Γ in phase space, together with a set
{(Fi,
εi,
δi)}
of observables and tolerances, such that
|\(\langle\)ω|Fi|ω\(\rangle\)
− Fi(ω )|
≤ εi and
(ΔFi)ω2
≤ δi,
for all ω and i.

* Issue: Is environmental decoherence
required to prevent classically chaotic systems (e.g., tumbling satellites such as
Hyperion) from exhibiting non-classical behavior within a short time span?
