Hydrodynamic Quantum Mechanics: Wave Function as Superfluid Phase
HRHarrison, Robert William

Abstract
This paper presents a hydrodynamic interpretation of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics within the Hydrodynamic Quantum Gravity (HQG) programme. The central result is that the standard Schrödinger formalism can be rewritten exactly as a continuity equation for a density field plus an Euler-like momentum equation containing an additional dispersive term (“quantum potential”). In this reading, quantum behaviour is modelled as effective fluid dynamics of a coherent phase field. Interpretation note: “superfluid” language is used here as an effective mathematical description of vacuum behaviour. The claim is not that space is a material fluid or that there exists a preferred rest frame. Rather, the point is that…
