Duration of classicality in highly degenerate interacting Bosonic system
ORAL
Abstract
We study sets of oscillators that have high quantum occupancy and that interact by exchanging quanta. It is shown by analytical arguments and numerical simulations that such systems obey classical equations of motion only on timescales of order their relaxation time $\tau$ and not longer than that. The results are relevant to the cosmology of axions and axion-like particles.
