Quantum Mechanics and Its Emergent Macrophysics / / Geoffrey Sewell.

The quantum theory of macroscopic systems is a vast, ever-developing area of science that serves to relate the properties of complex physical objects to those of their constituent particles. Its essential challenge is that of finding the conceptual structures needed for the description of the variou...
