Bohmian mechanics versus Madelung quantum hydrodynamics

arXiv:0904.0723 · doi:10.13140/RG.2.1.3663.8245

Abstract

It is shown that the Bohmian mechanics and the Madelung quantum hydrodynamics are different theories and the latter is a better ontological interpretation of quantum mechanics. A new stochastic interpretation of quantum mechanics is proposed, which is the background of the Madelung quantum hydrodynamics. Its relation to the complex mechanics is also explored. A new complex hydrodynamics is proposed, which eliminates completely the Bohm quantum potential. It describes the quantum evolution of the probability density by a convective diffusion with imaginary transport coefficients.

The paper is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of A.B. Datsev
