The Classical Limit of Quantum Mechanical Commutator

May 29, 2019/8 Comments/in Physics Tutorials, Quantum/by samalkhaiat

The Classical Limit of Commutator (without fancy mathematics) Quantum mechanics occupies a very unusual place among physical theories: It contains classical mechanics as a limiting case, yet at the same time it requires this limiting case for its own formulation. Many textbooks on elementary QM show you how the Hamilton-Jacobi [tex]\frac{\partial S}{\partial t} + H…
