Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 4225–4228 (1999)Breakdown of Bohr's Correspondence Principle
See accompanying Physics Focus Bohr's correspondence principle, i.e., the expectation that the semiclassical approximation works better for states with greater quantum numbers, is shown to break down in all quantum systems in which the asymptotic interaction between the fragments behaves as -Cn/rn with n>2. © 1999 The American Physical Society URL:
