First visit to this forum. I'm looking for assistance from time to time with the mathematics of quantum theory and string theory. Would such questions be appropriate for this forum? If so, how does one go about entering formula characters in the messages? Thanks.

Hi there,

Welcome to the forum! Yes, this forum is a great place to seek assistance with the mathematics of quantum theory and string theory. Many members here have a strong background in math and are familiar with these concepts.

To enter formula characters in your messages, there are a few options. You can use LaTeX, which is a typesetting language commonly used for mathematical equations. There are many online LaTeX editors that you can use to create your equations and then copy and paste them into your message.

Another option is to use the built-in equation editor in the forum's text editor. Simply click on the "Equation" button and a pop-up window will appear where you can input your equation using the available symbols and functions.

I hope this helps! Don't hesitate to ask for assistance if you encounter any difficulties. We're all here to help each other out. Good luck with your studies!
 
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...
