Quantum-Classical Mass Separation

Available identifiers

MaRDI QIDQ6775485

assuming separation of mass scales is the basis of all quantum-classical dynamics models

Description

Often the square root (or sometimes the fourth root) of the light-to-heavy mass ratio are used as smallness parameters in defining an asymptotic limit for quantum-classical dynamics

Defining Formula: $\frac{m}{M}\ll 1$

$M$ symbol represents Heavy Particle Mass

$m$ symbol represents Light Particle Mass
