So I understand that as the number of entangled particles increases, observable quantum mechanical properties decrease to the extent that the mass of particles collectively loses its wave-particle character and behaves classically.
In other words, the particles' collective position-space wavefunction is effectively collapsed.
My question is this: if a classical object is functionally a collapsed position-space wavefunction, doesn't the uncertainty principle hold that the object would have a correspondingly expanded momentum-space wavefunction?
If so, would a classical object, let's say a baseball, have a single measurable momentum space wavefunction?
