The Quantum-Classical Transition and Wave Packet Dispersion

Abstract

Two recent studies have presented new information relevant to the transition from quantum behavior to classical behavior, and related this to parameters characterizing the universe as a whole. The present study based on a separate approach has developed similar results that appear to substantiate aspects of earlier work and also to introduce further new ideas.
