Bohr's Correspondence Principle states that quantum mechanics and classical mechanics will agree in the limit of large quantum numbers. This principle ensures that quantum theory transitions smoothly into classical physics under conditions where classical physics is known to be a good approximation (e.g., for large systems or high energies).
