- Contents
- Physical theories emerge from each other in either simple or singular ways. An example of the former is the emergence of non-relativistic mechanics from special relativity: this limit is non-singular. On the other hand classical mechanics emerges in a singular way from quantum mechanics. This makes the relation between these two theories much more complex and subtle, and involves such questions as to why classical systems may, and indeed are generically, chaotic but a quantum system is never chaotic. The lecture course will explore the strange borderland between these two fundamental theories: semi-classics. The course will begin at the simple WKB level and progress up to the full structure of modern semi-classics.
