On semi-classical limit of nonlinear quantum scattering

Some Remarks on the Semi-Classical Limit of Quantum Gravity

One of the most important issues in quantum gravity is to identify its semi-classical regime. First the issue is to define for we mean by a semi-classical theory of quantum gravity, then we would like to use it to extract physical predictions. Writing an effective theory on a flat background is a way to address this problem and I explain how the non-commutative spacetime of deformed special rel...

On the Semi-classical Limit for the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation

We review some results concerning the semi-classical limit for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, with or without an external potential. We consider initial data which are either of the WKB type, or very concentrated as the semi-classical parameter goes to zero. We sketch the techniques used according to various frameworks, and point out some open problems.

Quantum gravitational fluctuations and the semi-classical limit

An attempt is made to go beyond the standard semi-classical approximation for gravity in the Born-Oppenheimer decomposition of the wave-function in minisuperspace. New terms are included which correspond to quantum gravitational fluctuations on the background metric. Their existence renders the definition of the semi-classical limit rather delicate and can lead to the avoidance of the singulari...

Classical Limit of Quantum Mechanics

para o valor esperado de uma dada observável fı́sica A = A(p, q, t) representada pelo operador Â. As equações (1) e (2) são válidas desde que o potencial externo V varie vagarosamente dentro de um pacote de onda bem localizadoψPE (Pacote de Ehrenfest). Assim, de acordo com os livros-texto [1], as equações de Newton são obtidas como limite clássico da equação de Schrödinger. No entanto, Ballentin...
