Revealing Deep Links Between Quantum and Classical Dissipative Systems

The world of physics has been split between classical and quantum physics with the advent of quantum mechanics. Classical physics deals with the motions of objects one gets to normally see daily in the macroscopic world, while the exotic behaviors of elementary particles in the microscopic world have been described by quantum physics.
