Abstract

Finding signs of the classical-quantum border is a very important task of perennial interest. We show, using semiclassical arguments, that the frontier between the classical and quantum domains can be characterized by recourse to idiosyncratic features of a delimiter parameter associated with the concepts of i) noise) ii) Husimi distribution functions, iii) Wherl’s entropy, and iv) escort distributions.
