We apply the semi-classical limit of the generalized SO(3) map for representation of variable-spin systems in a four-dimensional symplectic manifold and approximate their evolution terms of effective classical dynamics on T*S2. Using the asymptotic form of the star-product, we manage to “quantize” one of the classical dynamic variables and introduce a discretized version of the Truncated Wigner Approximation (TWA). Two emblematic examples of quantum dynamics (rotor in an external field and two coupled spins) are analyzed, and the results of exact, continuous, and discretized versions of TWA are compared.

We use an atomic ratchet realized by applying short pulses of an optical standing-wave to a Bose–Einstein condensate to study the crossover between classical and quantum dynamics. The signature of the ratchet is the existence of a directed current of atoms, even though there is an absence of a net bias force. Provided that the pulse period is close to one of the resonances of the system, the ratchet behavior can be understood using a classical like theory which depends on a single variable containing many of the experimental parameters. Here we show that this theory is valid in both the true classical limit, when the pulse period is close to zero, as well as regimes when this period is close to other resonances where the usual scaled Planck's constant is nonzero. By smoothly changing the pulse period between these resonances we demonstrate how it is possible to tune the ratchet between quantum and classical types of behavior.

In this work we present a discussion of the existing links between the procedures of endowing the quantum gravity with a real time and of including in the theory a physical reference frame. More precisely, as a first step, we develop the canonical quantum dynamics, starting from the Einstein equations in presence of a dust fluid and arrive at a Schrödinger evolution. Then, by fixing the lapse function in the path-integral of gravity, we get a Schrödinger quantum dynamics, of which eigenvalues problem provides the appearance of a dust fluid in the classical limit. The main issue of our analysis is to claim that a theory, in which the time displacement invariance, on a quantum level, is broken, is indistinguishable from a theory for which this symmetry holds, but a real reference fluid is included.

We present a framework within which the way classical behavior emerges from arbitrary quantum dynamics can be studied systematically. This behavior is characterized by a quenching (topological) index Ξ, which controls the quenching of quantum correlations and signals the existence or the lack of classical limit. The compactness of geometry distinguishes two classes of quantum systems. The kick examples given in this letter suggest that quantum correlation suppresses chaos for compact geometry, while the opposite is found in the non-compact case.
