B How can you ensure that the particle has already been entangled?

There are several questions I am wondering.
1. If I give you a particle, how can you ensure that the particle has already been entangled?
2. If I give you a pair of particles, how can you ensure that these particles have already been entangled?

In how many ways, e.g. in the theoretical/mathematical method can be used to solve the problem?

Thank you all for answering.

If you give me one or two particles and don't tell me how did you prepared them, then I cannot determine that they are entangled. However, if you give me many particles, or many pairs of particles, which are all prepared in the same way, then I can determine whether they are entangled. The more particles you give me, I can determine it with better certainty.

If an electron at a higher energy level, it downward transition twice and emit one photon at each downward transition, the two photons created this way entangled each other , their spins always opposite.
 
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...
