   • 2014 September 1, Gregg Jaeger, “What in the (quantum) world is macroscopic?”, in American Journal of Physics, volume 82, number 9, pages 896–905:

     ...it appears to be a small step from (1) and (2) to the identification of a sufficiently large mass with a macroscopic mass and, by analogy, to the consideration as macroscopic any system having sufficiently large quantum numbers associated with it, as well as to accept such macroscopicity as sufficient for classicality.

     In contrast, permutation-symmetric pure states feature rather low geometric entanglement and strong and robust macroscopicity
