in the literature, people are talking about 'quantum systems without a classical limit'

could anyone give me an example?
 
I'm not sure what is meant by "no classical limit." A white dwarf star in a sense is not a classical limit, even though it is a huge number of particles, but if you heat it up high enough it would explode and be a very classical type Ia supernova.
