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...

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...
