Is there anybody who can help me in introducing some chapters of books or maybe some articles that teaches Quantum contextuality and its mathematical formalism in an understandable format? thanks.

What is your math background?

I'm asking because you've tagged this thread with an "A" prefix, indicating that you want an answer suitable for someone who has completed an undergraduate physics major and is now in graduate school working towards a master's or PhD degree. If so, you should start by thoroughly nailing down the mathematical formalism in Ballentine.

Thanks for your reply. You are right. I am a master student in physics and I know Hilbert spaces and some mathematical knowledges needed for QM. BTW, what is the exact name of your mentioned book?
 
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...
