The derivation of the Schrödinger-like equations from the system of equations of the quantum hydrodynamic analogy (QHA) is analyzed in presence of fluctuations. If in absence of fluctuation each QHA solution can be tracked back to the equivalent one of the Schrödinger problem, in presence of fluctuations the work shows that the ensemble of solution of the QHA equations is wider than the Schrödinger one and the tracking-back procedure from the QHA problem to the original Schrödinger equation is not generally possible. The break-down of the mathematical correspondence is inspected and correlated to the characteristics of the states. Finally, the paper shows that if the form of Schrödinger equation is generalized, the QHA stochastic case as well as its classical limit can be translated into a Schrödinger-like representation.
Abstract Several hydrodynamic models of the atomic Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) obtained beyond the mean-field approximation are discussed together from a single point of view. All these models are derived from the microscopic quantum description. The derivation is made within the many-particle quantum hydrodynamics method suggested by L Kuz’menkov. The derivation is demonstrated and discussed for the mean-field regime revealing the Gross–Pitaevskii equation as the simplest illustration. It appears in the first order by the interaction radius. Generalization of the hydrodynamic Euler equation obtained in the third order by the interaction radius is discussed. It includes the contribution of the isotropic short-range interaction (SRI) presented by the third space derivative of the square of concentration. The Euler equation also includes the contribution of the anisotropic part of the SRI proportional to the second order spherical function. A systematic account of the quantum fluctuations in terms of the many-particle quantum hydrodynamics method requires the extension of the set of hydrodynamic equations from the couple continuity and Euler equations to the set of four equations which also includes the pressure evolution equation and the evolution equation for the third rank tensor of the pressure flux. The pressure evolution equation contains no interaction contribution in the first order by the interaction radius. The source of the quantum fluctuations is in the interaction caused term existing in the third rank tensor evolution equation which is obtained in the first order by the interaction radius. The presented models are considered for the single-component BECs.
The quantum hydrodynamic-like equations for two real variables (i.e., the phase and the amplitude of the wave function) of the relativistic Klein-Gordon equation are derived in the present paper. The paper also shows that in classical limit the hydrodynamic Klein-Gordon equations lead to the Madelung pseudo-potential [1] as well as to the quantum pseudo potential for a charged particle given by Janossy [2] and by Bialynicki et al [3]. The origin of the non-local interactions of quantum mechanics in the hydrodynamic model are discussed both for free and charged particles.
