Statistical consistency of quantum-classical hybrids

Abstract

After formulating a no-go theorem for perfect quantum-classical hybrid systems, a new consistency requirement based on standard statistical considerations is noted. It is shown that such requirement is not fulfilled by the mean-field approach, nor by the statistical ensemble approach. Further unusual features of the latter scheme are pointed out.
