Communication with past and future?

I have a question about quantum entanglement. If quantum entanglement can cause particles to travel through time and space does that mean we can use them to communicate with the future or past. Say I build a device on Monday that recives and transmits such particles would I be able talk to my self that exists in Tuesday assuming I still had the device, and when it came Tuesday could I talk to my past self on Monday and so on. Also would I be able to communicate across space instantaneously with such a device.

There is no connection between what you are asking and quantum entanglement.
 
Entangled particles travel through time and space the same way unentangled. Neither can exceed the speed of light and neither can send a signal back in time.
 
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...
