Description
The problem about the classical limit of Quantum Mechanis is a thorny and intriguing issue at the core of modern physics. There remain many doubts about this fundamental question of the foundations of Quantum Mechanics. In the literature, there are many procedures to aboard this matter, the best known and used are the Planck´s limit ( ) and the Bohr´s Correspondence Principle (n>>1). Nathan Rosen and Richard Libboff have affirmed that this limits are not equivalent and that none of them has a universal charcater.
In this work we propose a new mathematical formulation of the Correspondence Principle. This new approach consists of obtaining the asymptotic limit of quantum probability density. As a result of this procedure, Classical Physics emerges as an asymptotic case of Quantum Mechanics. We show as examples of this procedure the cases of the quantum harmonic oscillator, the Kepler problem, the particle en the square infinity well and the quantum free falling.
With this approach one can understand the difference between the Planck´s limit and the Bohr´s Correspondence Principle. It also allows to clarify some of the differences that exist between Quantum Mechanics al Classical Physics.
