TL;DR Summary
How would I do Pauli Villars Regularization for an integral of the form

$\frac{\int d^4k}{(2\pi)^4}\frac{k^2}{(k^2-m^2+i\epsilon)^2}$
My guess would be to do an integral of the form

$$\frac{\int d^4k}{(2\pi)^4}k^2(\frac{1}{(k^2-m^2+i\epsilon)}-\frac{1}{k^2-\Lambda_1^2+i\epsilon})(\frac{1}{(k^2-m^2+i\epsilon)}-\frac{1}{k^2-\Lambda_2^2+i\epsilon})$$

before Wick otating and integrating. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

This looks promising. What's your specific question? I never liked Pauli-Villars regularization much, because it's pretty complicated compared to dimensional regularization ;-)).

Just wanted to check if I was on the right path. Thanks!
 
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...
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...
