Double Slit Experiment Near The Singularity of a black hole

I've been wondering for a long time whether or not the theory that one electron can be in two places at the same time holds near the singularity of a black hole?

Why do you think that the answer could be different than in other more regular conditions?

Because of the intense gravity near the singularity

You shouldn't expect there to be any qualitatively different behavior near a black hole. Compared, let's say, to ordinary constraints in the laboratory on Earth.
 
gravity doesn't discredit the uncertainty principle
 
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...
