Symmetric Hybrid Dynamics: A canonical formulation of coupled classical-quantum dynamics
Nuno Costa Dias, Joao Nuno Prata
A canonical formulation of coupled classical-quantum dynamics is presented. The theory is named symmetric hybrid dynamics. It is proved that under some general conditions its predi…

Symmetric Classical Mechanics
Nuno Costa Dias, Joao Nuno Prata
We investigate the possibility that the semiclassical limit of quantum mechanics might be correctly described by a classical dynamical theory, other than standard classical mechani…

Classicality Criteria
Nuno Costa Dias
We present two possible criteria quantifying the degree of classicality of an arbitrary (finite dimensional) dynamical system. The inputs for these criteria are the classical dynam…
