This is interesting, but we must keep in mind a number of caveats: 1. the classical density is time-dependent, and we have chosen to average over the “natural” timescale in the system, if no such scale presented itself, we would be out of luck making these comparisons, 2. Our classical temporal aver ...

... length scale, which depends on the mass of the particle [16]. Beyond this scale, the behavior is dominated by gravitational effects which do not permit spatial superpositions and may lead to classical-like behavior. The Planck’s mass (which value is high being of the order of 10-5 g) corresponds to ...
