Describing polarization of a coheret state parametrizing on poincare sphere

Just a comment:
There are some questions that pass unanswered for hidden reasons.

Some suggest they don't answer it for being pointless. I'm always suspicious when this happens, because this is not consistent with the behavious of these same people when faced with other questions.

Some don't answer simply because they don't know.It seems to this questions involves vary basic know]edge on the subject and that I can't answer it just because I was not introduced to it. And I refer to an honest introduction, not some ego trip presentation/text by someone who either does not understand well the subject(simple as it may be) or intentionally mystifies it to pose as "the smart guy/high arcanist".

So I'd like to ask for, at least, your impressions on this question. At simple as it may be. Just like "I don't know", "I know but I won't tell because of the effort involved", "I'm also confused by these projections", "I think there is something wrong with these projections" etc.
 
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...
