Quantum-classical mass separation

assuming separation of mass scales is the basis of all quantum-classical dynamics models

Description

Often the square root (or sometimes the fourth root) of the light-to-heavy mass ratio are used as smallness parameters in defining an asymptotic limit for quantum-classical dynamics

Formula(s) and Quantities

$\frac{m}{M} ≪ 1$
$M$ represents heavy particle mass
$m$ represents light particle mass
