Microscopic views of simple macroscopic quantum behaviour

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

For simple-model microscopic systems, we discuss whether (or not) potentially observable macroscopic quantum behaviour can arise, making explicit two criteria which must be satisfied for this to be possible. We also consider the relevance of this for macroscopic quantum behaviour in real systems.
