The descriptions of the quantum realm and the macroscopic classical world differ significantly not only in their mathematical formulations but also in their foundational concepts and philosophical consequences. When and how physical systems stop to behave quantum mechanically and begin to behave classically is still heavily debated in the physics community and subject to theoretical and experimental research. This book puts forward an approach to the quantum-to-classical transition fully within quantum theory and conceptually different from already existing models: It neither needs to refer to the uncontrollable environment of a system (decoherence) nor to change the quantum laws itself (collapse models), but puts the stress on the limits of observability of quantum phenomena due to the imprecision of our measurement apparatuses. For a certain class of time evolutions, it is this mere restriction to coarse-grained measurements which is sufficient to see the natural emergence of macroscopic realism and even the classical Newtonian laws out of the full quantum formalism.
