Can anyone direct me to an online English translation of Birgit Dopfer's Phd Thesis?

Dopfer, Birgit (1998). Zwei Experimente zur Interferenz von Zwei-Photonen Zusẗanden (PhD Thesis) (PDF). Univ. Innsbruck.

Thanks,

Note to Moderators:
I am posting a new question rather than adding it to existing threads, because the system says I have insufficient privileges to do that.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
What makes you think such a document even exists? That might help track it down.
 
True. You have a point there. I should have said, is there a synopsis / summary /detailed discussion of the the key experiments reported in the thesis, so that one can get all the important concepts and information without having to read the German version.

It seems as if this is a publication related to the topic of the thesis:

Brillouin scattering and dynamical diffraction of entangled photon pairs
Birgit Dopfer, Paul G. Kwiat, Harald Weinfurter, Anton Zeilinger, and Michael A. Horne
Phys. Rev. A 52, R2531(R) – Published 1 October 1995
http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.52.R2531
 
Thank you, I had a look at the abstract and I will track down a copy of the full paper. Thanks.
 
Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...

Is it possible, and fruitful, to use certain conceptual and technical tools from effective field theory (coarse-graining/integrating-out, power-counting, matching, RG) to think about the relationship between the fundamental (quantum) and the emergent (classical), both to account for the quasi-autonomy of the classical level and to quantify residual quantum corrections? By “emergent,” I mean the following: after integrating out fast/irrelevant quantum degrees of freedom (high-energy modes...
