Abstract: An investigation is undertaken of semiclassical time-evolutions and their classical limit with the intent of getting insights into the classical–quantum frontier. We deal with a system that represents the interaction between matter and a given field, and our main research tool is the so-called q-complexity quantifier, for which two different versions are considered. The probability distribution associated with the time-evolution process is determined by recourse to the Bandt–Pompe symbolic technique [C. Bandt, B. Pompe, Permutation entropy: a natural complexity measure for time series, Phys. Rev. Lett. 88 (2002) 174102:1–174102:4]. The most salient details of the quantum–classical transition turn out to be described not only well, but also in a better fashion than that of previous literature.
