As researchers of quantum physics, we are constantly bombarded with attributes such as “nonclassical” and “superclassical.” We strive to track down the elusive quantum–classical boundary, to understand what makes quantum mechanics so powerful yet counterintuitive. But for this purpose, we must first have a firm understanding of the classical world and the laws that classical mechanics imposes. ...
