Abstract
Beside the limit \(\hbar \rightarrow 0\), we consider the limit \(N\rightarrow \infty \), where N could be the principal quantum number labeling orbits in atomic physics (as in Bohr’s Correspondence Principle), or the number of particles or lattice sites, or the number of identical experiments in a long run measuring the relative frequencies of possible outcomes.
