Length as a Paradigm for Understanding the Classical Limit
arXiv:2010.10627 · doi:10.1119/10.0002180
Abstract
It is regrettable that the quantum length of an object is rarely if ever discussed, because it provides an ideal pedagogical paradigm for understanding how a physicist uses classical intuition to define quantum properties and how such quantum properties behave as one would expect in the classical limit. It also provides for a way to understand many-particle states, and leads to interesting quantum behavior that challenges our intuition of measurement.
