Do bosons tend not to obey Pauli Exclusion Principle?
I would appreciate if someone would send me some material about this question, and answer it as well.

Bosons do not obey the exclusion principle. Only fermions do.
 
Boson wave functions must by completely symmetric, so there is no 'exclusion', but some states are still ruled out.
 
A good exercise is to consider a bound state of two fermions forming a boson. Then try to find the solution to the following paradox. While the bosons can be in the same state, the fermions they consist of can't. How is this possible?
 
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...
