Entanglement of classical and quantum short-range dynamics in mean-field systems

The relationship between classical and quantum mechanics is usually understood via the limit ħ→0. This is the underlying idea behind the quantization of classical objects. The apparent incompatibility of general relativity with quantum mechanics and quantum field theory has challenged for many decad...
