Will we ever quantize the centers of mass of heavy systems? A case for a Heisenberg cut in quantum mechanics
Gabriel H. S. Aguiar, George E. A. Matsas
The quantum orthodoxy attests that all dynamical degrees of freedom should be quantized, including those associated with the centers of mass of composite/complex systems, such as p…

Quantum internal vibrations in macroscopic systems with classical centers of mass
Gabriel H. S. Aguiar, George E. A. Matsas
Harmonizing classical and quantum worlds is a major challenge for modern physics. A significant portion of the scientific community supports the notion that classical mechanics is…

A simple gravitational self-decoherence model
Gabriel H. S. Aguiar, George E. A. Matsas
One of the most significant debates of our time is whether our macroscopic world (i) naturally emerges from quantum mechanics or (ii) requires new physics. We argue for the latter…
