- Abstract: We consider a new geometric approach to Madelung's quantum hydrodynamics
(QHD) based on the theory of gauge connections. In particular, our treatment
comprises a constant curvature thereby endowing QHD with intrinsic non-zero
holonomy. In the hydrodynamic context, this leads to a fluid velocity which no
longer is constrained to be irrotational and allows instead for vortex
filaments solutions. After exploiting the Rasetti-Regge method to couple the
Schr\"odinger equation to vortex filament dynamics, the latter is then
considered as a source of geometric phase in the context of Born-Oppenheimer
molecular dynamics. Similarly, we consider the Pauli equation for the motion of
spin particles in electromagnetic fields and we exploit its underlying
hydrodynamic picture to include vortex dynamics.

"Wasserstein Quantum Monte Carlo" (WQMC) uses the gradient flow induced by the Wasserstein metric, rather than Fisher-Rao metric, and corresponds to transporting the probability mass, rather than teleporting it.
We demonstrate empirically that the dynamics of WQMC results in faster convergence to the ground state of molecular systems.
