Correspondence principle (disambiguation)
.
In
physics
, the
correspondence principle
states that the behavior of systems described by the theory of
quantum mechanics
(or by the
old quantum theory
) reproduces
classical physics
in the
limit
of large
quantum numbers
. In other words, it says that for large
orbits
and for large
energies
, quantum calculations must agree with classical calculations.
