By identifying the Schrödinger equation with the hydrodynamic equations in superfluid
3He, the effective potential is introduced in the Schrödinger equation to solve the quantum pressure in steady state. The pure gauge velocity solutions of hydrodynamic equations provide an analogous Wu-Yang monopole potential. The two cases of velocity in superfluid are equivalent to the two regions of Wu-Yang monopole potential. Due to the compressibility of superfluid, the physical models are limited, such as hard core and harmonic oscillator. It is important that the constraint condition of
∇ρ⋅v=0 plays a key role, which determines that the integral quantum numbers are selected in monopole harmonics and shows the special analogous Wu-Yang monopole. The results provide a new possibility for the simulation of Wu-Yang monopole.
The quantum hydrodynamic analogy (QHA), equivalent to the Schrödinger equation, is investigated and extended to the stochastic case. The investigation shows that in addition to reproducing the standard quantum mechanics the QHA model is able to generally describe the quantum stochastic dynamics leading to the dissipative Schrödinger equation given by Kostin [55] as a particular case. The inspection shows that the QHA is well suited for the treatment of problems where local noise (spatially distributed one) is introduced. In this case the analysis shows that the bi-univocal correspondence between the QHA and the Schrödinger approach breaks down and that the states described by the QHA do not have their corresponding ones into the Schrödinger description.
