Abstract: The theory of strict deformation quantization of the two sphere $S^{2}subsetmathbb{R}^3$ is used to prove the existence of the classical limit of mean-field quantum spin chains, whose ensuing Hamiltonians are denoted by $H_N$ and where $N$ indicates the number of sites. Indeed, since the fibers $A_{1/N}=M_{N+1}(mathbbC)$ and $A_0=C(S^2)$ form a continuous bundle of $C^{\ast }$-algebras over the base space $I=0cup1/mathbb{N}^{\ast }subset[0,1]$, one can define a strict deformation quantization of $A_0$ where quantization is specified by certain quantization maps $Q_{1/N}:ilde{A}_{0}ightarrow{A}_{1/N}$, with $ilde{A}_0$ a dense Poisson subalgebra of $A_0$. Given now a sequence of such $H_N$, we show that under some assumptions a sequence of eigenvectors $ps{i}_N$ of $H_N$ has a classical limit in the sense that $omeg{a}_0(f):=li{m}_{Noinfty}langleps{i}_N,Q_{1/N}(f)ps{i}_{N}angle$ exists as a state on $A_0$ given by $omeg{a}_0(f)=frac1nsu{m}_{i=1}^{n}f(Omeg{a}_i)$, where $n$ is some natural number. We give an application regarding spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) and moreover we show that the spectrum of such a mean-field quantum spin system converges to the range of some polynomial in three real variables restricted to the sphere $S^2$.
