Classical limits of Hilbert bimodules as symplectic dual pairs

Hilbert bimodules are morphisms between C*-algebraic models of quantum systems, while symplectic dual pairs are morphisms between Poisson geometric models of classical systems. …

Extensions of bundles of C*-algebras

Bundles of C*-algebras can be used to represent limits of physical theories whose algebraic structure depends on the value of a parameter. The primary example is the ℏ → 0 limit of …

Is the classical limit “singular”? featured image

Is the classical limit “singular”?

We argue against claims that the classical ℏ → 0 limit is “singular” in a way that frustrates an eliminative reduction of classical to quantum physics. We show one precise sense in …
