On the Classical Limit of Quantum Mechanics - Case Study of Rydberg Atoms

Explore the classical limit of quantum mechanics through a case study of Rydberg atoms in this 28-minute conference talk by Jan Mostowski from the Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences. Delivered as part of the Symposium celebrating Professor Iwo Birula-Białynicki's 90th birthday, the presentation delves into the fascinating world of highly excited atomic states. Gain insights into how Rydberg atoms serve as a bridge between quantum and classical physics, illustrating the transition from quantum to classical behavior. The talk, given at the Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw, is part of a larger event featuring special wishes from Nobel laureate Prof. Anton Zeilinger and the presentation of the Wigner Medal. Enhance your understanding of quantum-classical correspondence and the unique properties of Rydberg atoms in this thought-provoking lecture from a renowned physicist.
