I Measuring Second-Order Correlation Function with Start and Stop Signal

How is it possible to measure the second-order correlation function with a device that can only perform start and stop measurements, and for each measurement, it can only record 5 stops? I understand that experimentally it is necessary to measure the coincidences, the independent events in each channel, the total measurement time, and the coincidence window. However, it is still not clear to me how to measure these independent events using only starts and stops. The device has 2 reception channels.

Perhaps you could share with us a reference for what you are asking about. As written, I cannot discern the context - and I doubt others will either.

What device? A specific reference would be helpful.
 

Thread 'Schrödinger equation and classical wave equation'

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...

Thread 'Is a table levitating possible, even at a minuscule probability?'

I am not sure if this falls under classical physics or quantum physics or somewhere else (so feel free to put it in the right section), but is there any micro state of the universe one can think of which if evolved under the current laws of nature, inevitably results in outcomes such as a table levitating? That example is just a random one I decided to choose but I'm really asking about any event that would seem like a "miracle" to the ordinary person (i.e. any event that doesn't seem to...
