we know that an electron rotates about its own axis.similarly does the electron too rotates about its own axis? and does nucleus and electron vibrate in an atom?

No, we do not know that. The electron posseses spin, i.e. intrinsic angular momentum, but this is not due to rotation. Rotation and vibration are classical concepts that cannot be applied to quantum systems.

First of all, please reread what you wrote here. It makes no sense.

Secondly, as has been mentioned, there is no evidence that "electron rotates about its own axis". There are numerous threads discussing electron spin in this forum. Please do a search on that first and see if they can correct your misunderstanding here.

Zz.
 
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...
