Since there is an energy operator interms of t and a momentum operator interms of x as expected.For energy there is a hamiltanion operator interms of t which is unexpected for me.Similarly whether there is any operator interms of t for momentum also?

Off the kinetic energy operator: ##2m\hat T=\hat p^2## ...
Note: the Hamiltonian operator is the energy operator.

Please provide example of "energy operator in terms of t".

ih/2π *∂/∂t is an operator of energy
 
This is misleading since time is a parameter in quantum theory not an observable, represented by an operator. The Hamiltonian represents the total energy of the system and is a function (or functional) of the fundamental operators of the theory's observable algebra like ##\hat{\vec{x}}## and ##\hat{\vec{p}}## for one particle in non-relativistic quantum theory ("first quantization") or the field operators in quantum field theories ("second quantization").
 
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...
