I don't think so. The only thing that distinguishes entanglement from
classical correlation is interference effects, and as h goes to zero so does
the wavelength of the intereference pattern.

Hmm...
Consider Wheeler's galactic delayed choice experiment, where light
from a quasar is lensed gravitationally around an intervening galaxy
so that photons arrive at a common detection point. The delayed choice
is made well after billions of years of light-travel. Lowering h
reduces the energy content of each photon but doesn't do anything to
change the outcome of the delayed choice experiment, as far as I can
tell.

I think that the main point here is that QM is based on a linear
equation ... so there is no place for chaos ... so
there is no place for entrophy growth ... at least I think that
discusion must begin here
