Hi there,

I'm looking for an experiment performed to date that:
(a) creates two pairs of entangled photons (in the same entangled state);
(b) subjects one photon of each pair to a bell-state measurement or decides to perform a separable state measurement on the two photons (so they don't become entangled)
(c) that (b) is randomly decided
(d) the two photons left are then measured (which indicate they're entangled; if not, they remain entangled as when they're produced).

Basically an experiment opposite of http://www.nature.com/nphys/journal/v8/n6/full/nphys2294.html, except both separable and bell-state measurements are performed on the two photons going to Victor (and that is randomly decided).

What is a separable state measurement?

One in which entanglement swapping does not occur on the two photons that go to a particular party.
 
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...
