- Semi-classical approaches approximate fully quantum descriptions with partially classical ones. Here we use a toy model to highlight the failings of the standard mean-field semi-classical approach, and show how including environmental decoherence can lead to improved semi-classical theories that are exact descriptions of the original quantum dynamics. In doing so, we show how consistent models of classical-quantum dynamics can arise as effective descriptions of open quantum systems.
